AM I that far off?
Now that looks like a good buy for the money.
not being a dick, just answering your question with my opinion, yes I think 8 grand is extremely high, 2500 is low but 8 is way high, if I was going to by a 73 I would just look for a slant 6 or 318 car, or a 74 or 75, just to get into one way cheaper, I just think no one in there right mind would pay that money for an a body that needs restoration unless it was a 72 and older, bought this car last summer for 7500 just the way it is in the pic, drove it home 350 miles, 318 air car.
