To suggest that Dicks perfect car is only worth $85K compared to the 73 at $123k is nothing more than an insult. The price differential is not that great!

I said I personally would only pay that for it. What it sells for, is what it is worth. Also, Dick will tell you that the car is excellent....not "Perfect"
You also cannot take purchase price add resto costs and get value. It does not work that way. I think at 175k that guy in the 73 is upside down. I stand by MY opinion, and it is just that.
Bob, i believe you and i talked after both looking at the replacement block red 74 4sp here in Chicago a couple years ago. So i know you are knowledgeable.
I would never insult anyone, i just have my opinions on what SDs are worth.
I had a great conversation with Dick and found him to be my kind of car guy. I also expressed my opinion of what "I" would give him. I am still an interested in buying this car.
Hope that helps, but I stand by my opinion and until real money changes hand at that level for a 74 4sp......

Respectfully,

John
