Unfortunately, I don't think that you can figure the sale price of a car by knowing the restored value and then subtracting the retoration cost. If that was true, the seller would have have had to pay me to take the last car I bought.

I was referring to a Hard Top only convertible.

I am not trying to make a mathematical equation to try to price a car. I just comparing prices to a show car - driver car. I thought what I said made sense. Maybe not?

Regarding the hard-top only subject, I believe that a buyer had a choice of either a hard-top or a soft-top included in the base price (see M.F. Dobbins book page 334) of a convertible. I'm not sure whether this would be an option delete. Option code C07 gave the buyer a hard-top as well as the soft. Noland's book indicates that there were 895 '67s produced with a hard-top only, C07 with an ECL of BA. Far more than I would have thought would have been made that way.

I said I did not know anything about the car. And the option code was C07 your right.

Heard there were lots of good cars there. A 65 fuelie that a friend owns went top flight, this blue/black coupe came to Texas by way of Northern California (Charley).
Also heard that John Lejsal from Houston had his car on a transporter and another car leaked brake fluid all over the original paint job of his 72 big block. It apparently went from the front to back of the car. Ouch......

That car was a mess! It was the original paint on the car too. I was really surprised that the carrying company did not have some sort of basin to stop a leak of some sort. The Fulie car was nice!

Where does liability fall when this happens? My cars have been on the bottom of a transporter many times. Is it the responsibility of the owner of the leaking car or the responsibility of the carrier? I don't know, but if it were my car I would want a paint job.

It is not the falt of the dripping car's owner because how wold he know his car is going to leak? Obviously the falt can't be directed to the owner of the ruined car. I would blame the carrier. If they don't pay for paint then I smell a law suit. This sort of thing could be covered under the 1.5 million dollars of insurance those big carriers have. My view.

Better carriers cover the cars and have drip trays

Carriers have coverage for this and are liable. My '67 project Z arrived from NV with oil stains all over the hood and cowl. Even though it was just old sun-faded paint and primer that had to come off anyway, they gave me $500 for my touble [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
