Go to the threads Gearheads has posted on his 66 and you will know that he's not messing with you. He knows about cars and restorations and has a great sense of value. If he says 3-4 he's probably right on the money.
I have spent way more than 10000 just on parts that have yet to be installed on my car (really easy to do when you're buying NOS parts - they add up fast. And that's not even counting shipping or taxes). My car's body is immaculate and draws a lot of oooohs and aahhhs. The interior is mint. BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS, and I think that every serious CO member can validate this. WHAT YOU PUT INTO A CAR ISN'T NECESSARILY WHAT YOU WILL GET BACK OUT OF IT. You can also run into the flip side. Put nothing into it and get more than you paid back out of it. Just depends on who thinks (the car) or (their money) is the best value.
Lets see now, the seller doesn't really know what it's worth. To my knowledge a 455 didn't come in the 66 Delmont. And glitter doesn't always make the car run better. I've always found that dickering for price is fun and rewarding. Try it and see. Let us know if you buy it, and how much.
