Where was it for sale then?

 

[FK3 Sport Fury]

North Vancouver IIRC.

The same car was for sale here in Victoria a couple years ago then I guess it made it's way over there at that time.

Really? A flip multiplier of almost TIMES THREE? I'd love to buy the car and let the guy make some money but that's ridiculous.

300rag pointed me in the FB direction to find it; I'm still "waiting to be accepted" as a member.
Does anyone out there have any other info/links/intel on this car?
Thanks for any input/advice!

Canadians still use Craigslist? Nice car, maybe not 4500$ nice, never hurts to try though. Edit_ looks really solid, desirable body style, relatively rare. Could be worth it.

I remember seeing pictures of a few rusty areas when it was advertised a couple years ago that don't show up in those pics.Think it was in the lower quarters.I know a previous owner of the car and could make a few inquiries if needed.

Now you've got me curious as well, after seeing Chad's car.

Seller wants $3500 USD. For that amount of money you’d still be above ground with a nice 2-Door car.

 

[polara71]

It's definitely worth it

Looks pretty straight. Really would come down to undercarriage, under dash, vinyl top, trunk, and steel below. I am just learning, but I have been really really looking a lot at the C body market, and it seems any traditional small block sedan or coupe needs to be really nice to make it past the 3-4K range. The 440 imperials and Monaco’s appears to be ok with rust and interior issues, still selling in the 25-55 range, but it seems the c bodies need a trifecta of appeal to crest $5000. Trifecta being at least 3 of the sought after items:
Low mile original
Rare color combo
440 car
Little to no rust
Rare factory options
Complete interior
Runs/ drives
Coupe
There seems to be a lot of cars out there that have 440’s or rare colors, but are rusty and need interior.
There’s low mile cars available but are sedans and still have rust
Lastly there are a lot of really well maintained super nice cars, but they are 360 cars with little desirability, like mine

I think rust is the biggest proponent of price. Hard to see in ads whether rust is there or not
