Ray,
Times do change! I can remember buying an LM convertible in reasonable
shape (Earl Scheib paint job looked good from 20 foot away) and DRIVING it
home from the seller. The price was $150 and it got driven without major
repair for many years.
If the engine hasn't even been run in over 10 years and the floors are
gone, he'll never get anywhere that kind of price for his "SOLID" car. He'll
have to pay to get it hauled to the dump.

I inquired via e-mail about a 66' Corvair coupe listed for sale a couple
hours from me for $850.
The reply was that the price is firm. The car is a "Monza 500" with a 110
and a 3 speed. The car has bubbled clear coat on the hood, rust holes in
the usual places, the interior has been painted with vinyl paint which is
peeling, the floors are gone, the engine hasn't been started since 99' but
ran great (no rebuild known), and the clincher......
The car was parked outside under some tree's 12 years ago and not touched
since because the left front suspension pulled away from the body while
driving it!!!!
After all this the guy says "If I was to do it over I'd just fix the
problem
areas and paint it, the car is that solid!!!!!!"
Only $850 FIRM, what a bargain eh?
