No way is that car worth $4k! What the heck are they thinking is so special about it? It's pretty but it'd have to have super low miles & no rust. People are nuts!
I saw another post on here about some guy complaining about how he only got $500 for a car that doesn't run & doesn't have a title! From the pictures, it looks pretty beat down regardless of how rare it is, I'd take $500 & run!

I think it falls under the "it's old so it's worth $$$$$" category.

That line of thought is usually wrong.

I walked away from a turbo coupe for $700. Body was in bad shape, it had been sitting since 1997. I bought a 83 carbed 3.8 cat instead for $300. Threw a battery in and it fired right up.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'd offer him $800-900 at this point to see if he took it. Well if I didn't just blow all my fun money on a paint job :hick:
