Wayne,
Your friends either going to be for a rude awakening, or he will find someone quite gulliable. The car is a plain jane, no option convertible....Need to have it's doors fixed (striker plate in the dataplate pictures shows the bolt on patch, meaning that it is torn away, or worse yet, fatiqued enough to need this patch, then repaint), suspension rebuilt(rear end sits low, leaf springs, shocks, assorted brackets, bushings, etc...all add up...More likely the front will need the same)...My last 66 convertible had PS and a power top, detailed engine compartment, and a third place MCA trophy under it's belt...That only sold for $14,000...Thye attention to detail of this car does not warrant the price that he is asking...Sorry to be so hard on it, but I do call them like I see them....My original posting and offer are serious ones, I still have to add in the repairs, repaints, and the detailing parts, along with the shipping back to NJ.....
Just my valid two cents worth on this particular car.......
Sincerely,
Bill S.
