A lot depends on the presentation.
Cars need "staged" just like houses, dejunked, look at it from a fresh viewpoint.
Don't try to hide things that need fixed, but don't leave a pile of cheeseburger wrappers in it either!

For the replacement I would suggest you look at something that has a true headrest and some seat contours.
The Hornet seats are bone flat and will be hard for him to "stay in place in".

I'd suggest doing the clean and get ready, figure on a true, what it is worth price and posting it on Craigslist.
Be sure and use pictures in the ad.

Craigslist is free, you will not be out additional money posting it there and CL does a pretty good job of letting a lot of people see the car.

Subject: [AMC-list] Anyone have experience selling AMCs on traditional places?

After getting back from my son's spinal fusion surgery, then spending
another day in the ER due to other problems (a combination of
dehydration, low blood pressure and standing too quickly - my son
literally could not see at all until he got back in bed) - I'm
thinking the Rambler American may need to go. I enjoy driving it, but
I think it would be best to go with something from the 70's - with
high back seats, three-point seat belts and a padded dash.

Anyway - anyone have luck selling their project on e-Bay and or
Craigslist? Any recommendations? Hints on presentation? I want to keep
in the AMC hobby, but I also want to keep my son involved in it - so
am considering selling the '65 American (and maybe the Apache popup)
and looking for a Hornet.

What works on presentation, and what should I avoid in a listing?
