[V8Vairs] Searching for a value

[Brown, Douglas T CIV NAVAIR DEPT]

Mike,
I bought two Corv8 projects.  One is a rust-free body with disc brakes and a complete Crown installation minus engine.  I paid $1500 for that and thought it was a fair price.  The other is also rust-free and has a rebuilt "modified" 327 installed with a Cidco-modified transaxle and front discs.  This one was over $2K, but I still think the price was fair.  Neither one has seats.  I would expect you might get that car for somewhere in that price range.  I would start at $1000-$1400 if it's not rusty or banged up.  JMHO

Hey everyone.  Been lurking for awhile but now have a question.

I've found a Buick 215 car that a guy is selling, and wants me to make an
offer.  I haven't the faintest what it should be.  Here's a description of
the car.

1965 Corvair with 66 trans
4bbl 215 Buick with a nice cam, 5000 miles
3.27 gears
Needs paint, some interior, front end bushings
Been sitting awhile, should fire up with a new battery

The guy has owned this car for about 20 years, gone through it twice, but
now is old and wants a boat.

Anyone have any ideas what I should offer him?
