I would bet my .05c that there is more underneath the hole in the cowell. Mine was worse than that and the entire bottom under the fender was gone. I agree the fender needs to come off and see whats going on there. Easy enough fix though.
As for hagerty, they are a good guide but one must keep in mind that a #1 car is as it sits on the dealership floor. Almost NO use on any component. Very few cars fit in this category. #2 would be what most of us call a trailer queen show car. Most cars that are out and about that we see at local shows and cruises are indeed nice cars but are #3 condition.
With the rust hole through, the cut up console and aftermarket radio this one is clearly a #3 at best.
Will be interesting to see what it goes for. As an owner of a black 77 I hope it hits the sky!!!
IF I were in the market I wouldnt spend more than about $40k on this one and thats only for the originality.
