 Somebody has seen too much Barrett Jackson ....can't believe  the prices some people ask.....

IMHO he would be lucky to get $10gs. Buddy  sold his 56 Chev 383 stoker, 4 speed for $26,000 last summer and

it was a nice ride. This is not in that class whatsoever.

It IS a beautiful car, but looking around online I would agree with BJ that it likely won't come close to bringing 30K.

 Hard to tell from 1 pic Carl. Have been looking at a lot of adds and cars. What you see in a pic is nowhere what is seen in real life.  Pics just don't seem to show all of the flaws as when up close. Might look like great paint/body..but boy they deceive ! and agree...not a 30g caliber car from what I can see from 1 pic!!!  Same old..may have spent 40 re chrome/paint/body etc..but just not there.

Looked at the ad expecting it to be much worse than it appears in the pic.  To me 30K seems high for any collector car, but I don't think there's enough info in the pic or ad to say it's any worse than any other cars I see advertised for 30K.  Maybe it's like the ad says, must be seen to be appreciated?

Also, wondering what makes it look like it's from the '80s?  Rally wheels and teal green?  I actually think the combo looks quite nice.  When I think of the '80s, I think pro streeted with some pastel colour and monochrome treatment with that Chevy pulse graphic that everybody put on their cars back then...  This is not that.

I agree that more pics would be better, but I guess in reality more and better pics only appease us internet browsers.  If somebody is serious about the car I would think they would try to see it in person, or at least ask for a bunch of pics (which always seems foolhardy to me, but I guess people actually buy cars with only having seen pics...).

Easy to be critical but hey I think maybe we've got someone who doesn't want to sell his car. You know, wife wants rid of it sort of thing. Look dear I put the car for sale and nobody has offered me a cent.
