I am not a fan of a seller on a free marketplace stating "any less and I will keep it." Meh, OK.   There is a car posted in the AACA Forum where the seller stated that 2 years ago and has lowered the price 3 times !   

 

But, that comment aside - this checks a lot of boxes.  I do appreciate his honest photos.  It will need full dual exhasust with quiet Flowmasters.  That rusty glass pack exhaust has to sound horrible.  Well, that's likely $1,200 right there unless I can buy the exhaust and do it at my friends farm Morton building. 

 

I love this car.  Treat that original top of the line bucket seat leather with Leather Honey and restore about 50% of it.  Nobody likes to see floor pans cut out and redone, perhaps not welded in (hard to tell) and all that surface rust but it shows awful nice up top. 

 

I have had 5 1964 Buick convertibles including a dark blue 1964 Electra I snatched out of Minnesota with 54,000 original miles, challenged paint for $5,000 in about 2004 or so.  Drove well, loved it.  Black leather bench seat interior.  

 

So have driver 60's Buick convertibles climbed to $15,000 as an entrance fee?
