If the seller cut 1/3 off the price, they’re listening to offers and need to sell - go look at it!! Needs more/better pix - what they have sucks. But I really like it. Can’t comment on the price - but I’m sure that Ramblin Rover has thoughts—

Yeah, Ramblin and I have already been over this one a bit. The cliff notes version is that he made out like a bandit on his, ongoing work notwithstanding. For an all-there driver quality 2-door that looks decent to get down to 10k is rare. Either it’s hiding some bad cancer, or maybe people are inexplicably scared off by the small engine. I just wish I had the cash to offer with, I’m not really in a position to buy at the moment.

Well, the seller isn’t showing it very well, and the color/engine combo aren’t the most desirable. It might be full of bondo and frame rot, it might not - can’t tell from what’s there. If you can scare up enough $ to make an offer that won’t be offensive, I’d look at it—

Same here. I’ve had the ad pulled up all morning. The wants are so damn strong.

If I keep looking at the interior shot, I may fly to Cali and buy it myself!

Seriously, the interior is what I keep coming back to. It seems every non-show car Galaxie out here has an incomplete or missing interior. That makes this one gold .

It’s an XL - buckets that look nice, console is intact, and in general the whole thing looks to be in great shape.

I *looooooove* interiors from the early-mid 60's, and this is a VERY nice one right here.

Damn, $5k drop? Or you know.... not buy a car and use that little fun savings to fix one of your many vehicles

haha, savings. None of that is going on. Which is why none of my projects are progressing.

Me too, and I miss my old ‘66 Fairlane something fierce. If it’s still around come the weekend I might have to at least go check it out. It’s about a 2 hour round trip.
