Got a line on a '68 fastback and need some pricing advice pronto!

Morning.

Kinda exhausted from messing with the thing and negotiating- thought I'd let you guys know how it went. Appreciate the input.

Looking for a good little car to put my daughter in- nothing special necessarily, but easy to drive, safe, easy to work on, fairly economical- something she can get her hands dirty on with me and have a bit of personal pride in once made "pretty". Doesn't have to be completely "done" but driveable, insurable, inspectible, etc. The white notch that Cudavert sold off here is a good example- and it was turn key for 10k. Good car- but my whole family disliked notchies and the white paint. No accounting for taste. And, it was a '67, which I have a bunch of parts already in the garage for. Anyway, fastback preferred by the majority, you might say.

And since Daddy is buying and works for a living, something I can afford without killing the budget.

Impasse at 9k- wants 11. Hung it up at that point and went sightseeing with the wifey.

The mechs didn't cost me too much for a pre inspection and tuneup; the car will need all the seals replaced, the body a bit of a massage for a ding or two and the paint touched up and buffed out. It would have lasted for a couple of years longer.

Parts to get it driveable about $500. Mech to do it here about $1200. Or, get it shipped home about 600-800. Then do it myself and add some more to get the suspension rubber replaced, the seals, the heater hooked back up, the a/c replaced with a Cool Air kit, the interior taken care of, etc. You fellers know the drill.

Will let him simmer for a while and see what happens.

Thanks again.

Mike
