Is this worth $15,000?

It is if it sells for that price. IMHO, maybe 2k. Maybe.

I agree with Tom.

There is some bad rust around the floorboards/dash.

No seats?
No ceiling bows?
Wrong driver's door?
Rear floor might be bad (besides needing a cover)?

What are the "corrugated" metal strips on the rear ceiling/roof cross-bows?

Good grief! I've got a complete "IRWIPI" 59 Burb with a 307 V8 engine, a SM420 and a Dana 60 rear end that I'd sell for half that much and think I cheated somebody!

Must be a typo. Maybe 1,500.00. Other than the cab body there really isn’t enough there to justify it. Missing the good parts, cut up dash, missing seats, clamshell hold ups, etc.

tried to come up with something witty, but bottom line is...that price is insane. I would have to assume it is listed on ebay for lead generation. If they are asking that price for a burb with no drivetrain, no seats, no running boards, etc., what would they possibly ask for a complete burb but not running? It has a make offer option, this is one time to make a lowball offer (which would really NOT BE a lowball offer). Better yet, keep looking. There are ways to search craigslist across the country, and you will find much better options.

I agree, too much. Offer him $14,500 and see what happens. I am pretty sure his house and all the furniture goes with it, except Grandma's sewing machine.

If that's worth $15 grand, then my panel must be worth $100K!

You must mean 150,000.00. (Just slide the decimal point over.)

I thought it was too good to be true.
