What's a '66 Barracuda Formula S, 4-speed project car worth?

Let him think about it. He's willing to deal and so are you. I don't know your intent, passion for the car, or your finances but I wouldn't pass on it over $600. You'll kick yourself forever. I passed on a nice 64 Dart her a year or so back. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: I'm still kicking myself and it wasn't the money, It's because it was on the east coast. What a dummy I was.

I get where you are coming from there, but since the car doesn't run and it has been sitting for a long time, I have to predict some costly repairs for the vehicle. If it were to at least run (even if it ran rough), I wouldn't have as big of a problem paying another $600 for it. Also, since he is about 4 hours away from me, I can't easily just go look at the car and see it is everything he said it was. I plan ahead the best I can...

I am gonna take a risk and wait a few days to see if he accepts my offer at all. If he sells it, then tough luck for me, but I know how some people are when they get a solid cash offer and want their car out of their driveway ASAP. This guy doesn't have much interest in the car from what he told me - he only bought it cause he thought it was cool looking.
