So, I found this car up here in Maine. 66 Electra 401 st400
The owner wasn't home, but the sign in the back window says $4500.00 obo. Mint condition...
After a thorough inspection, I find the frame, just at the trans. crosmember, is rusted clean through, on the drivers side. Also, both rear body mounts are completely gone.
The interior is original, and about 80%
The body still has the original paint, and the panels are rust free and straight.
Rear bumper is not straight.
The sign says runs good. 95,000 miles on car.
My question is.... How much do I offer this guy without insulting him.
He feels its mint condition, but, Its far from mint.
I want the engine and trans, for my 65 Skylark.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Sincerely, David
