Well, from my perspective, as I'm not a "flipper" or investor, my comment that I would be looking at $24K is based on whether or not I really loved the car. As I stated earlier, if you're looking to flip it, forget it. If you want a really cool looking Liberty Blue 69 GTO, with hideaways, I would think somewhere in the $24K range would be all I would pay, maybe get it for less (like $21K), but asking a seller to come down 30% on a $30K car is asking a lot.

Don, I hear ya on the price of base GTO's. The whole market has changed. Never thought I'd see a perfectly restored 1970 W-30 4-speed hardtop, the finest in the world, with rock solid documentation, two build cards, an absolutely flawless restoration, a car that took 1st place at the Olds Nats, and it didn't even crack $100K on a televised auction! According to Olds zealots, these cars were worth $200K all day in this condition, so the market has really fallen.

Good catch on the dash cover, I missed that one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

It really boils down to getting the PHS. This could easily be a hubcap car, no posi, no hood tach, even an exposed headlight car that someone converted years ago. Not that &quot;converted&quot; items diminish the value, if you truly love the car, but this guy is asking top dollar at $30K, so you should expect everything, and be disappointed by nothing.
