I bought one exactly like that, including the mileage, in 1974 for $500. Wish I still had it...

LOLOLOL in the time it took me to call them back, the dealer dropped another 150 off the price, I just accepted.

Man, I feel a little sleazy, but they probably rip so many other people off on a daily basis so whatever.

I hear you...

My high school parking lot in the mid '70s looked like a present day Barrett Jackson muscle car auction. Hind sight....

She's had a chance to mull it over and decided against it for several reasons, mostly to do with safety/grandkids.

Just sold a 64 1/2 for my sister about a year ago. Ok as a weekend casual toy but a death trap for any form of regular driving nowadays.

Congrats dude! Wish I was as good as a haggler as you are. I just have verbal anxiety.

Wonder how will I fare at a car meet .-.

You'll do fine. Everybody's always a little awkward at first. I just jumped in with both feet. Probably creeped everyone out. "Who the fuck is this overenthusiastic middle-aged freak?"

I just hung around and everybody thought I was some homeless guy that wandered in off the street.

UMMMMM Really? I priced insurance on a Porsche before I bought mine and the FRS was about 1/2 the price. Most here don't pay any exuberant costs either.

I'll bet it's an age thing. I had only liability on my 91 base Eclipse and with full coverage my bill only went up like 40-ish bucks.
