theconvertibleguy Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Probably will miss out on this as I won't be able to see it in time, so figured I'd share it here and see what you lot thought Edited January 16 by theconvertibleguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 It might be nice if you included the seller's description from the ad, his contact information, or, at least, a link to the original ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Does the asking price include the wrenches setting on top of the radiator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think I have the same comment on 95% of the cars in this thread. Seems overpriced for what it is. Looks like they went heavy on the interior with armor all, the paint looks ok at best, it may polish up and the engine bay is horrible! Top of the core support looks like paint over rust. Probably 20% higher asking than what it should be. Seems everyone wants #1 money for a #3 car. Other than that it looks like a pretty decent car, dad had 64 ranch wagon as his work car when I was a kid, so Im kinda partial to the body style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needed some interior work (work driver seats...seems to be a thing), and the paint needs love. Not damaged, but it definitely needs a refresh. And that engine bay...ya it's rough, but it's not rust. It's like the stripping was ripped off and no-one gave a damn about making it not look like crap. I expect that it's a symptom of the reason why it's being sold (aka the owner can't keep up with the matienence needed sadly) Sadly there was no data plate where it should have been (and I couldn't find the VIN, although I could have missed it.).

TexRiv_63 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Crazy expensive for a 390 automatic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say they're rare, but I've been looking for over a year with this option bunch (390 or larger, auto, colours I like), and have only seen two in Canada. The other needed proper work and they wanted 20k CAD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconvertibleguy Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Found they relisted on ebay and it looks like it sold for 10k less https://www.ebay.ca/itm/196169058485?hash=item2dac9648b5:g:aKAAAOSwblJllwnH Wish they'd said they'd sell for 25k when I saw it.
