KevinPackard, maybe that's WHY guys like this seller leave the price blank, as I was thinking $5000-$6500 would be more where the cutting line would be on this car. Of course, those like yourself, with more experience and a more discerning view than I have, see the anomalies and the red flags. Personally, I thought the peeling paint might have been from a repaint that wasn't properly prepared, but if that is original colour coming off then you're right - probably a whole different 'kettle of crawdads'. I know there is a guy here in my small town in Canada that has a 58 Pontiac sitting outside in his yard and he CLAIMS he has turned down $5000CDN (+/-$3700US) for it, and MY take was 'are you nuts!?!?' - I wouldn't give him $300 for the rust-bucket! Sometimes it is a case of just not knowing market value of a given automobile and others, a totally distorted misperception of true dollar value. Chris.
