I'll check it out tomorrow and report back.
I have seen a lot of coupes and am currently maintaining a sales price database, here is Haggerty's Condition 4:
"daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a Hagerty Price Guide #4 car"
Sorry to the seller, from the photos this coupe would be a stretch, starting with the fenders. Condition 5 is more accurate IMO without seeing it in the flesh. The underside pic also shows the bottom of A pillars rusting away along with rockers, bent rear bumper, interior in poor shape, is that rust at leading edge of body above trim strip?

He's dreaming at that price point. It's going to be a very large project.
That's pretty terminal rust. :evil:

I agree with Brendan. I did a walk around and the visible rust through areas are likely the tip of the iceberg, and I'm not brave enough to tackle a job that big.
A agree with the seller's assessment:
"Any money put towards this car will only raise the value of this investment."
Nonetheless, I can't see the value of the finished product exceeding the dollars "invested" to bring it back properly.

May it rest in peace.
Looks like Hagerty needs a Condition 6!
GASP. $1800. should be his price point. Chris, do I hear a Hagerty 7?
Saw this car yesterday and it needs everything, really a basket case other than it runs and drives and who knows how that is - wouldn't even make a decent parts car as most of the parts are rusted, thrashed interior, etc. It being a running driving car doesn't justify the $18.2K big ask on this one....I'd balk at paying $3K for this....most out there will be better.....worst rust I've seen on a body in a long time, and bondo-rama everywhere
