That interior sure looks rough for 43000 original miles. Those Chev big blocks run for a long time if not overheated. Based on the carpet worn so bad on the drivers floor and the rest of the interior I'm guessing the odometer has turned over once.
Yeah, kind of exxpensive. But then again, if it were perfect, market value might be pushing $20k. And there's no way it only 43,000 miles on it.
$20,000 car when it's done is probably about right. $5,500 purchase price and another $12-$13,000 to get it painted, new interior and completed. You could make some money on this one!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what his reserve is, but he initially was going to ask $14k for it. I've done transactions with him in the past. I'd love to have this wagon, but it does need a full restoration.
