WIW? 65 Valiant convert CL

Howdy folks. I am possibly interested in this 65 Valiant on the local CL. He just lowered the asking price from $8,800 to $5,900. I still think it's a little high since it needs a top, but would like some other opinions on value.

I have asked for more pictures, would like to see the engine compartment.

What's a top going to cost me, assuming having a shop do it all?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Price depends on rust issues- location should help there and mechanicals- I paid $4500 about a year ago for a 65 with 4 speed 273 and a/c All original and redone interior like this one. Good driver with 150000 miles- but with rust that will have to be dealt with. I like this car and would be willing to pay $$ Get an estimeate for top job and offer at least that much less- I like the redone interior-
