I think it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it,I think it will sell not to outrageous.
Just not for me,I would change to much to pay that price. :Twocents:
Also I'll bet there's more rust in the normal areas.

How much would it be to dye the vinyl top black again vs buying a new white vinyl top? Then there's the rust on the trunk pan and in the speaker panel that could be indicative of more rust in other areas. The body looks great for 50 plus years old but it being a coastal car and in and around moisture and salt I would have my reservations on the only rust on the car is what is pictured.

:iagree:
I said it before my car was rust free until it was blasted,and that has visible rust in the obvious areas.

A bronze car with a white top and tan interior is a very unusual color combination.

IMO, It can be extremely difficult when putting a number on 'originality' ?   I think it's a pretty darn fine example !
That said,
I don't think he's that far off pricewise ?
because what's showing "is" in my opinion the normal rust on a 50 year old Ca Car, and doubtful anything hidden or not shown to be concerned with.

 Don't know on the price but to repair it the rear window has to come out and see how bad the filler panel and the package tray flange is and going that far you may as well replace the vinyl top with the right color. :Twocents:

We think alike


I for one like the color combination and options.
But for ME personally a survivor is out of the question. I would never be happy with the paint or interior condition
