1972 Demon 340 $ Craigslist Find $

Post intended to stir up conversation, so all is good.

I like all types, but have a special place for original. Yes price is high, but there is always the opportunity to make an offer, and I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion when sellers come to reason once you go through the process of sharing your knowledge and passion for what they do/do not have.

There is also a world of difference negotiating in-person, over any other method, which is why I still wish I were not so far.

Just about everybody lists higher than market value, allowing themselves room for negotiating. In this case, the big factors would be rust/lack their of, and if its a #’s car with a build sheet. That could easily swing the price by 40% for me, with a likely ceiling of $4.5K on this one, which I think is within the realm of negotiation. Also am not looking at this one from the flipper perspective, which would call for a different set of numbers to make sense.

Not all cars are purchased to be fully restored/by others, but made to be drivers, and this one looks to have potential to be that with some elbow grease, and not anywhere near the money which could be spent paying to fully restore it. As most here know, a huge factor on potential of a car and what can/does result depends on the buyers personal skill, and available time/willingness to do the work themselves.

A very complete and original car, provides the option of both being made into a driver, and have the #’s upside if chosen to be restored at a later time.
