It's a car worth owning for 3000.

Wasn't he asking 2500 last time?

If its the same car, the last I knew, it was in New Mexico, now looks like its in AZ. Dont remember what the NM price was.

No doubt it is the same car. I had that NM seller ready to deliver it, but for $500 more than what I knew I could turn a profit for after restoration. He then sold it to the guy in AZ, who hasn't a clue about these cars, for the asking price. I think it is worth 3 grand to someone looking for a long-term relationship, but the current owner is wanting his transport and a few parts purchase expenses back too.

Here's a link to the pictures I got last year. http://photobucket.com/NM61T4

I think I'll offer him 2 grand. If he takes it, great for me. If not, at least he'll better understand what the car is worth and someone with Tempest knowledge can grab it at reasonable cost.

This guy emailed me today. Said he had several"low ball" offers. Said if he cant get his asking price, he will keep it & take out a loan for the Judge he is looking at. I didnt answer him yet.

He shouldn't have bought it in the first place and it isn't worth 4 grand. Needs way too much jack to bring it up to speed to bring 4. I'll fly to PDX, give him 2, spend another 550 on tires the day I fly in, drop 250 on gas/16 hours driving home (If it makes it), and another 10 Large/1000 hours restoring it. What else could a seller expect???

Can you try that photobucket link again?

[mechanickeith]

Whats up with my links??? Lets try this.

I made my offer, which will probably be shot down... for now. He is sure it will bring more than what he paid for it, $2,500.

This V8 61 is a rare one to have!

2004 of the 100,800 Tempests produced in 61 had the V8, 3 had the stick the rest were automatics. Not sure how many coupes had the V8.

Here is a good V-8 parts car or?

This car is actually in Montana, not Colorado. I have more pictures coming, but I don't think I'm a player for something that has to be shipped that far.

Can you post those pics when you get them?

[63Banshee]

This 61 could be a really good deal for someone in the NE.
