I Need Advice, There’s A Cream (Dream) Puff For Sale

Yea wife says I have a huge flock of birds over my head screaming cheap!!! Prices of classic cars go up and down often. Volatile market.
If I am buying a project I figure 95% are overpriced for the market and what they actually are. So I offer what it is worth to me. Sometimes the ask price is totally in line to me and I pay. Otherwise, I care less what the ask $ is, I am spending my money.
Prices vary so much by location.
