So I would tend to head more towards marxjunk figures, so I would think marxjunk high figure to Greg Reid First low figure. But as marxjunk says why settle...have some patience and get what you want.
As soon as you would buy it, then another will come along that you would have rather had.
Evidently you must not have looked very long or you wouldn't be asking what this is worth. Keep looking, make notes and records of all you checked out and when the right deal comes along you will know it. Remember these are only our opinions and the only opinion that matters is your own!
Good luck and let us know what you finally get.

Whoa! I can't confirm or deny that it is a 52K mile car - I was just saying that is possible and even probable, that's all.
FWIW I'm with
Greg Reid on pricing (maybe up to $15K) with the same caveat - if everything checks out and there are no surprises.
I agree - it's more rusty underneath than I would prefer to see but that's not a deal killer necessarily.
The car in question has had the MC replaced - that's not an OE unit. FWIW, my '69 has it's entire brake system intact an unchanged since new - and will still lock 'em all up and bring it to a screeching halt. It all depends upon how the cars are maintained and driven - I'm guessing that an adult owner for 42 years means no serious thrashing...and the car doesn't look it.
I'm more puzzled over the interior color change - lot of work/money.
WASP, are you sure it's not dark green? I parted out a '69 'Vette with dark green interior once...it'd sat so long the interior looked black until I started cleaning it to sell.
