Am I missing something here?

Check out this car.  Looks like a basket case, yet it is sitting at $9k. :icon_confused:

Mine is worse and I start at $25k when asked what I want for it. Mostly to run em off, as it isn't for sale.

 Not real good pix as it doesn't show the top of the windshield under the ttops. Rust behind the rear wheels. I'd drive it. They aren't making any more of them.

Not gonna make money with it at that price. You see what $4k gets you in Houston in Jason's thread.

I'd be scared of catching a disease by standing too close to it!

So, what do you think my 14k mile car with original paint would be worth?  It still smells brand new and the back rest of the seats go right to the 90' position. It's a T not a GN.

Should bring $30k or so, maybe more to the right buyer. I'm not real into garage art. I gotta drive em.

Look at how rusty the outside of the MAF is...    I wonder what the inside looks like?!

That is why I have two, so I can drive the crap out of one! Remember, we have 5 to 6 months of winter here.  So the car is garaged for at least that.  And the sun doesn't burn the crap out of the car like it does in the south. Here is a pic of my low milage one.

The engine bay is really rusty and you can see where they painted over the rust and holes in the metal.  And pictures usually make a rusty car look way better than it does.  I would hate to see it in person! :O

I sold mine for $11,200 US last year.  Go figure... should have put it on eBay.

Mike, your car would have been worth $20K on ebay if that thing went for $8700.  Did you sell your car in the States or Canada?
