You will never find a car with that defeatist attitude that gives up hope in todays market.
Another example.
This was not my deal but I know all parties involved, last summer, not 5 years ago, a long time member of our club sold his 58 356 coupe he had bought in 1964 in California to another newer but active member who comes from the water cooled years.
Both are nice guys but totally clueless about todays prices, the car changed hands for $10,000. The buyer honestly thinks he did the seller a favor at that price.
The truly sad part of the story is the buyer is cutting it up in to a 'out law hot rod' and asked me if it is worth the trouble to weld in the sun roof for the weight savings?
I knew the car was going to be sold soon and I would not have been able to offer any more the $35,000 for it and so did not say a thing as I thought that was insulting low for a no rust, two owner, A series, sunroof coupe.
