Id say 15 hunny if he throws in the horse sculpture.
Side note... I swear I thought the green one was the "rat' that we see on LI all the time when i first saw that picture.

Not a bad price for it. Im glad he was honest about not running right. I hope its not running right bc he cooked the motor. Running with no rear tin will fry a car in no time.... ( ask me how i know).

If he'll take 15, show up with 1200 and call it a day. Get some specs on the engine issue and why he thinks its need electircal. Also rust issues hes talking about.

As long as the frame head isn't toast the price seems fair. You can bet the channels and floors are.
I'm not an air cooled snob , I like them all !

Tom, i think there was a pic in the ad, of the floors. They look decent. And the story goes that the car is form down south...... allegedly

I think this car was on the island?
Was it a young kid who owned it? Tall, goofy looking kid?
I remember seeing this car before, I really want to say it was at Flowerfields...

Yeah mike it was at flowerfields, my friend is into the slammed look. This is what sold him on it. Hopefully that did not blind him from other glaring issues. Although for a grand should be ok. I'm Going to see if I can get him to join this most elite gruppe!!
