do you really think it is worth $10K???

I see a used car with an asking price of $10K. I rarely look at any beat up item and presume that the asking price is what I will pay. It is worth $10K for someone who has $10K to spend and not $20K. If anyone can provide some comps, I encourage them to post them here. Also, a car that costs 50% to 100% more isn’t a comp. This argument hasn’t changed, only the numbers. If another car 2,500 miles away comes along in two months for..$8K. Is THAT a comp, or is that just a deal that you will miss out on due to proximity and demand?

I'm sure that a big part of my optimism is grounded in ignorance, and my lack of experience restoring cars. Feel free quote me on that later. When I see a car like the one listed above, I see honest, unmasked potential. When I see cars like the one currently listed on BaT, I see disappointing surprises concealed by a 10' paint job. I mean the seller and the buyer no disrespect.

$10K Asking Price.

Stephen, opening the FB pages you run the risk of a rusty computer screen. I was on FB for a while to look at relatives' events. That got old quick, quit. Back now briefly to look at wedding photos of a relative. FB getting older even faster. I post nothing about myself, friend no one. Just look and leave. Social media is the curse of our age.

I’m in the Nice Price camp, a la Jalopnik’s best recurring feature. Lots of Crack Pipe’s have sold for more. @Markos is right, though, it’ll bring what it brings &, at bottom, $10k is a reasonable place to start.
