1966 Valiant Signet $10K & didn’t meet reserve?

I spent 20 bucks for a gallon of miss matched primer...... that adds 15-20k value according to my calculations..... or atleast the local Mopar market where I live. Guy tried to sell me a 4 SPD trans at a car show. No bell housing. 900 bucks. Oh, And no shifter either. Agreed that once you spend a dollar on these cars you are in the red. Oh well. Still super solid cars.
