I see 60/66 panels for sale often for under $1000. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | He's testing the market. I wonder what he paid for it at the auction. To me, its way too steep. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Pass. They aren't that hard to find.
Metal does not react well to that kind of heat, you might think its all straight so all you need do is remove the damaged interior and glass, and replace it, but you'll have problems with the body because of the fire damage.
I'd say its worth $350 because of the possibility of running gear parts and the value of the scrap metal. But that might be overpaying for it...

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 | oh, there was no way i was going to buy it for that price. the 350 was more what i was thinking, prob not give over 500 for it. but man i just can't believe asking that for it. it really irritates me because when he does finally give up and sell it to scrap yard for 200 i won't be around!! oh well, i have my eye on a 53 hornet 15 miles out of town. haha | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 13 | One man's trash is another man's treasure and it sounds like it's his treasure
