Towed the car to garage for brake job and fluid checks Model Year 66 Engine 6 cylinder- 200 straight in- line Automatic Convertible Exterior/Interior - Excellent 1) $3000 paint job- original color MG sports green - looks like factory job 2) No scratches or dents 3) Interior excellent condition- no tears, carpet new (matches original pile) 4) Dash - looks like new; I don't know if this is restored or new- 5) No rust- California car, 2nd owner, bought this car in 1971 6) Tires- like new 7) Convertible - new top; looks new; automatic hydraulics works Mechanical/Engine 1) Original 120,000 miles 2) Engine work never done (runs good after 6 years of non-use ; ran good when started las week) 3) Transmission/ shifts rough after sitting for 6 years 4) New brakes installed last week (1 Sept 06) Areas that Need attention: 1) Transmission needs to be serviced - shifts rough 2) Engine is original with 120,000 miles.

And from what I've seen, the price is not unreasonable. > Based on the information I provided, is the asking price reasonable? > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> 1) No power steering >> 2) No power brakes My intentions are to sell this car for a profit if I can. Having done a little bit of research, I am comming to the conclusion that in its present condition I might be able to turn a quick profit. What I am trying to ascertain is a realistic estimate of how much this car would be worth. Any ideas? > How old are you? Even with a six cylinder, a nice convertible is a good > investment.

That's where I found my wife's nice 68 coupe. I couldn't afford any of the ragtops there. > My intentions are to sell this car for a profit if I can.

So far, I've found two that are very simmilar to the one I am considering buying. Current bids for these two cars range from $12,050 to $9,300. The main difference between these cars and the one I am considering is the level of reconstruction/restoration. These two cars have had body parts replaced because of rust. The one I am looking at has no rust and all parts are original. Also the car has been in storage for a total of 14 years. I think I am going to pull the trigger on it. Thanks for your advice and help. > Have you checked Ebay Motors for similiar prices? That's where I found my > wife's nice 68 coupe. I couldn't afford any of the ragtops there.

Personally, I'd give it a pass at that price |
