Nice ride. But at 14K he's going to be sitting on it for a while. Get more realistic, and drop the opening bid to 5K and go from there.

It's not that. It's that, that car is not going to fetch $14K, even pristine. Although the bald head has saved it from the rust worm, it just looks plain. A Coupe' needs to be dressed up.

And I hate to say it, but that year, along with the '70, don't look good as 2 door cars. The body lines dictate 4 doors. The sail panels look wrong. Too big. You need 4 doors and lots of glass to give that style the right look.

Compare the 2 sometime. Even if you don't like 4 door cars.

I've got pics of a nice white, 4dr '70 somewhere.

But, I've owned both the 2 and 4 door and like the look of both.
I can't really say I like one better. They are just different.

Worst things with the 2dr is room to open the door and sagging hinges.  :doh:
