Tx: 1971 2800cs - ~$10k

Hi Folks,

According to a contact, the owner is looking for around $7K. Edit: $10K!!!. The owner is also offering to restore to your specification. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless the guy doesn't have the funds to restore/flip it himself. I've never had a car restored for me, so I don't know.

Appears that this car is being listed by SelectClassics in Dallas. They re-manufacture 2002's and offer to re-build them to customer specs. Sounds like he is offering to do the same for the CS. I checked out some of their re-manufactured 2002 roundie's a couple of years ago, looked OK if you didn't look too closely. Shortcuts taken to finish cars quickly, prices were on the high side too (+$20k).

Wonder is any Texas members are familiar with this company.

This guy is dreaming...

From the ad: "Nearly 100% of car in tact, needs very few new parts".

The amount of rust likely there, plus needing work everywhere does not warrant more than a couple to few grand for this wreck lol

It is worth your figure in parts alone. Hard to throw a number like that at out without knowing the condition of the sheet metal. If the sheet metal is decent the price isn't that unreasonable. I would assert that the car is worth more than the sum of its parts. You said "a few thousand". I went through this exercise with my Parts car, which I paid $3,400 for (and I can almost crawl through the rust holes). Can you find 30 items on the car that you can sell for at least $100? I'll do the first 15, the second half is harder. If it gets tight, start assigning true value to the parts instead of a SWAG. With all that said, I sincerely hope that it isn't parted out.

This conversation won't be resolved until someone checks the rust;). It is either a good or bad buy...

Who owns that nice silver 3.5 they feature in that ad? I love that Silver on Red treatment. Was red available as an interior color when these cars were new?
