Thanks for your reply!!!
Understandably pics speak a thousand words, but unfortunately I did not snap pics of the guy's cars. He claims to have spent thousands on local body shop redo and claims to have receipts (did ask to see them yet). so for the sake of this thread lets just assume the body is solid. The paint job shines and looks fine to me (in other words I would not paint it if I buy it).
I looked at the bottom of the inside/outside doors, rocker panels, trunk, all looked great to me. ear end, gas tank, leafs all repainted some time ago.
Yes, vinyl roof with "grande" badge, but could have had that added.
Not sure what the deluxe interior is, but I sat in it and could describe it? small floor console w/ 2 gauges at the front (look aftermarket). the passenger side has clock in the dash. both driver & pass dashboard have the wood style. Door panels were solid color (no wood style). wood 3-spoke steering wheel (could be aftermarket no idea).
I popped the hood.... no A/C, no PB, no PS. its a driver as is and doesn't seem to need anything to drive it now as is. Its a complete running car as is. a real driver.
oh and its not a shinny new crate motor. its a late 70s windsor (4barrel) with early 70s head (he says, I dont have codes but would check). its little dirty but fired up and idled fine.
He prob spent too much on the body work and trying to get all he can and I can understand that, or maybe he thinks its just worth more than it is. could have started as a roller for all I know and he's trying to flip for profit. I just dont want to over pay and there are no other examples that I can find to get an idea of a fair price.
