Seems like it needs a lot of stuff for 16,500. Too high, IMHO.

I think your offer of 10-12K is pretty fair. Interesting car that is PW and AC but radio delete??


If he has had it for a few years, my guess is that he is asking way more than he paid. These cars seem to still be going up.

I'm just starting my search....and trying to get a 'feel' for what the prices are on these things for what condition they're in, etc.

I was hoping (and I'd read some opinons that it is)...that with the economy right now, that prices would be down, and it would be a bit more of a buyers market on these things.

Then again, there is the age and rarity of them too starting to really kick in these days....

Looking at this TA...the interior looks like it would mostly need to be replaced/re-furbed.

Is it hard to find replacement dashes, consoles...etc, or is there a good reproduction market out there for these? If repros are available...do they come in all the colors needed, or do you buy them and have to paint them?

Any ideas on what this power steering leak might be, and how much that would cost to have someone find and fix it?

Thank you,

cayenne

They don't repro a dash - I have no experience w/ repairs, but I seen some decent dash caps that look good. Most of the other interior parts are repro'd. Can get expensive if you need too much.

I wouldn't sweat the PS leak. That happens pretty commonly and rebuilt units are easy to install..

Good luck - 76 is my favorite year. Especially the 455 cars.

Unless they have stopped production, Repro dashes are being manufactured. I got one earlier this year from Classic. http://www.classicindustries.com/fir.../10018005.html Right around $450 shipped with discounts, some people have gotten better deals though.

Wow, I am shocked to hell. There was talk of repro dashes for years. Did not know they came through. Pray tell, let us know about quality and fit.
