suchan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Sharp. Not usually a fan of red over red, but this one looks good. May be worth asking price, but photos are pretty skimpy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Right, this one falls into the "you can't restore it for that price " camp. So to get a solid project 1961 Electra convertible up to 375 point range would likely cost $60,000. I think $22,000 to $27,000 buys this car, unless as noted, there is something we don't see or know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm glad to see that the offering dealer (flipper) keeps lowering the price to try to find the market. Many dealers post ludicrous prices and then hold onto them like grim death--trying to keep up the charade that their high prices are realistic. So, praise to this dealer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If you go to the dealer's website, they have more pictures, including the engine bay and interior. The interior looks pretty decent. The seats appear to be leather and definitely used, but not abused. The engine bay needs a bit of detailing. The firewall color is a little off from the body color. The red is a little darker. I don't know what this car is worth, but it is a nice looking car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
