Re: [Amc-list] 65 classic for sale

I don't think your starting bid is too much, or the "buy it now" really. The big turn-off for anyone is the rusted rear floor (I know, not hard to fix, and probably there due to standing water where a window was left down for years) and the location. I've noticed that cars "out in the sticks" will go for half of what one in the same condition would near a large metro area. People will only go so far to pick a car up, or rather that figures into the price. A real popular car won't be affected as much, a less popular one (like our ramblers) are generally affected more (by location). 

If you end up relisting take the reserve off and start at $1000. Many just don't like bidding on a reserve auction. Of course you still have the option of selling if the reserve isn't met.

well, i wanted to get rid of it to someone who i KNEW
would keep it rambler, but i ended up listing it on
epay. hopefully no kid gets it and wants to drop in a
chitty or something. anyway, honestly, am i asking to
much for it at my reserve price?? it is a running,
driveable car. hope someone will buy it who enjoys
these cars as we all do.
