I need another car opinions on this 67 vert

They want $6500.00 and I am on my way to inspect it in a few. This is suppose to be the only body issues all on the left hand side. It is a 3 owner car with 71,000 original miles.

Looks to be a fair price as long as there are no real surprises?

IMHO

If you can see some rust, there's more that you can't see.

Nice looking car, Just be sure to "pluck it like a chicken" and inspect everywhere.

The frame is fully boxed and very strong. It has to be because the convertible body is flexible. Be sure the frame is not rusted from the inside of the boxed areas to the point where strength is lost.

I agree with the previous posts. There's more rust damage there that you can't see and won't see until the body is strippped in those areas.
Look at the rear fender wells, trunk floor, behind the wheels of the front fenders, front and rear window channels and last but not least the floor pans at the kick panels. There are other areas of course to look at but the ones I listed are very typical for rust.
Nice car from the pics!!!
