Not oo bad. I've seen quite a few cheapies around lately. There was one in the Collector Car Auto Trader, a '65 SB roadster for $15K! Makes me wish I had some extra dough! :reddevil

This one would take a thorough inspection. Dublin, Ohio (beyond being home to Wendy's) would be a snow and crud region. It looks nice but the frame could be Swiss cheese. I just have to wonder since the car appears nice and is being offered far below market value.

Not a bad looking car. Now if it was only a '71 and a vert, I'd be all over it.

41,400 total miles... 27000 on rebuilt original motor. That's 14,400 miles before rebuild :confused:

On the outside it looks nice but I'd have to take a real hard look at it for 10K. Like has been stated the car has been up north, rebuilt engine with low miles, what's the interior like, what works and doesn't work especially the complete vacuum system etc.

I'm not knockin' the car but if I were buying a bumpered coupe at first glance the exterior condition and price would get me to look at it and not just blow it off IF the car was local to me BUT once I got to the car in person it would get a very serious inspection.

He could've posted more pics and done a much better write-up on the car.
