1962 Dodge D100

[Lennard]

Hi guys, I have a question. A guy localy has this 1962 Dodge D100 panel van for sale. I like it but I went to take a look at it and it needs quite some work. It has dents all around and rust holes in the bottom of the doors.  It has a non original 318 with auto trans. It was originaly a 6 cylinder with the three on the tree. He says it is running perfect but he had the carb off of it to clean when i was there so I did not witnessed it.
I thinking of offering him $2500, is that to much or is it worth more than that? I know it is hard to judge by 4 small pictures and my little story but I'd like you're opnion anyway. Thanks in advance!

I dunnow, but the bubbles don't exactly make it a panel van anymore. Good luck.

You are right, but if i and up buying it they go out and it will be a panel van again.

Personally i dont care for that grille and if its not a popular body style will you be able to get your $2500 back if you need to sell it?

That thing is pretty cool. There was one for sale locally a while back but now I can't remember the price. Unless you're a collector and know the values I wouldn't spend a ton. If you want a neat parts hauler/hot rod I'd try to get it cheap and drive it "as is".

One was on eBay (non rusty, non-running shell) that didn't sell for $790.
Here's another one on eBay that looks much nicer and didn't sell for $5500:

If it was decent and original I'd give 2500$ for it but not for that thing. I also question if its a 1962. Looks older. Didnt think they made that body style in 62.

Now that looks like pile-o-fun.  How would you get a title for it?

[RD]

you can get one from the state with a bill of sale since it is so old.

If it was an unmolested original and in very good condition I'd say 2500.00 might be okay but not for this one!

Everybody, thanks for your opinions and answers, i guess i just saved myself $2500.  
RD, thanks for the link but Oklahoma is a little bit too far away.
