Your offer is very fair.....

Did he say anything about paperwork?

sams7out

He doesn't have any paper work, just a story he bought it from a closed down auto body shop. It seems strange to me the patch work on the floor. He believes he is sitting on top of a pot of gold.

But on page 5 of his other auctions he has an old pair of "68,69" W30 inner fenders for $895. Says the originals for this car were junk.

sams7out

Smells fishy, there is a small patch on drivers floor as well. Why go thru all the resto and not fix the floor proper?

sams7out

I do not care about the w30, I just want a clean body.

BangScreech4-4-2

Well, it seems like he's gonna want W-30 money for it, although I don't know what makes him think it's a W-30.

When I first saw his ad I sent a message asking if he'd sell me the "junk" red liners. Shortly after that he put them up for sale at that price.

stevengerard

this is the Parts Place selling the car

sams7out

Have you seen it there, or is it listed locally?

BangScreech4-4-2

Wow. You'd think they'd have the resources to do a pretty nice clone. :

marxjunk

hes been in the parts game forever..so no one is gonna "get one" past him...Joe has more money than he could ever spend...he prob has his finger on the pulse on pricing better than most..

ive bought a few cars in primer..and no way would i ever pay retail for another..ive always been disappointed..every single time..primer seems to make it all better, and it just hides a lot

RetroRanger

I agree, what's a w30 w no paper work eng or trans, a cutlass, plus it's only a rolling shell there's still a lot more to put it together

joe_padavano

Hasn't this car been discussed here in the last year? We previously raised a question about the repro red inner fenders. He was trying to sell the damaged original red inners separately for big dollars.

sammy

Yup! Hence the saying "just put it in primer and sell it"...

I saw this one myself.

1. It's way over priced and it might take the seller a few times listing it before he realizes this fact.
2. I don't like the description "what you see is what you get". It's missing a lot of really hard to come by, as well as expensive, parts.
3. I don't see the bucket seats, tic, tac ,toc or the center console. So I wasn't sure they went with the car.

So I passed on it. And I'd recommend you do the same.

junior supercar

correct. so you'll have to wait out Joe

junior supercar

Well, my story is I purchased a 68 Cutlass S two years ago. I paid $3k, it has a 442 engine and trans. Car has very little interior. Engine runs and sounds great. I started from ground up. I replaced all the suspension, paid big bucks for a posi rear end, upgraded steering box, disc brakes. When it came time to start the body, I pulled the windshield and part of the dash board came with it. The floor are pretty decent but I'm finding bits of holes on the rest of the car. I was thinking this would be almost perfect except for his price as I could just transfer all my parts. I forgot to say that when I spoke to him he wouldn't guarantee what was under the primer.

I have a 1968 shell for $500 in Birmingham Alabama.
I'll take all the pictures you need to make an informed decision.
Send me a PM if you're interested

A better option is to buy another 68 from out west for $2000 to $2500.

Here's a pic of what Hawaii does to a cutlass.
