Nice, bit on the high side though.

Priced like an A/C car at the minimum...

 

[detmatt]

Most that we see on here are overpriced, especially when first offered up by the original family.

Wow! That's a nice car!

Why would you get rid of your grandfathers car when it is that nice. Unless the grand father was like 120yrs. old and the grandson is pushing 80 ok I could see not being interested if your not a car guy at 80 but really.

How does an air cleaner get so beat up if the car has 38,000 miles? These simple inconsistencies always get me.

From power washing the engine.

What car can you go out and buy now days for $10.000 with under 40.000 miles and not get killed in a 5 mph crash?

 

[detmatt]

Good question, welcome to the site from the Motor City!
is the car yours? You seem to know exactly how the air cleaner came to look like it does in the ad. More likely you're just speeding from experience. And speaking...

It is certainly clean under there. That bare metal on the air cleaner is fresh, no rust. Yep. Just pressure washed.

Nice car! Thanks for posting.

Hey, who here doesn't... :3gears:

Very nice car... Odd not having AC and power windows in a New Yorker, but sweet car in a good color combo in my opinion also.

I don't think it is that over priced... A set of 15" Magnums and make up for those lost miles.

Like most car guys they don't give a rats *** about C Bodies and will use the funds towards getting a real "muscle car". Nice car though...

Matt I know you are in Detroit, but there are a lot of nice old c-bodies in your neck of the woods.

 

[detmatt]

There certainly are Mike, its very distracting!

Ok, then why does the top of the snorkel look beat to hell? Was the black paint that cheap? How did that decal, on the air cleaner, survive power blasting? Why is the ground for the negative battery cable not connected? Because some dummy installed a new battery and wasn't paying attention?

Nonetheless a nice car especially for it's region. Overpriced there? Probably. Overpriced out here? By a mile.

 

[detmatt]

Those decals on the air cleaner will survive a session in my blasting cabinet, just saying...

 

[Stormer]

Overpriced? You guys are out of your mind. That's maybe the nicest original 68 NY left on the planet & you don't think it's worth 10K? Sheesh.....

As to why he's selling it, really none of your business & ridiculous to judge or speculate.

If you're going to replace the paint....why not replace the decals? Several vendors have repo decals available.
