Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: 76 Hornet *FIND* Help me out!

The man seemed genuinely clueless as to what to ask for it, so I thought I would help him out and research it. It is not show ready by any means. It has been a daily driver (more like a daily driveway warmer) ever since I have seen it. He has it tagged with Vintage plates, so he is not legally allowed to drive it >1,000 miles/year in this state. He is sentimental about the car and I don't think he really wants to part with it, but his health is making it very difficult for him to maintain it like he wants to. So he is looking for someone who will love it to have it. He stated that there were some electrical problems with the car. Yes it is a coupe, not a hatchback - I like that look. Next week I'll take some photos and post them. ~Lu~

Runs and drives decent with no major problems the $2500 sounds like it would be more than fair for it. Now if it is in show room condition with no problems at all and the paint is bright and shiny with few or any faults if he was very lucky he might get the $4000. Now if you see that it is decent but is going to need some work on it the 1000 to 1500 would be more like it. Now if the guy wants 10,000 for it run like hell and if he want $500 ask him what is wrong with it.

Right now in last several years prices suck and I am getting hammered with 'sympathy buys' for instance, those are folks who have lost jobs, or mortgage/homes, ect, and well, need money so selling off toys, and sometimes those toys are AMCs, so while i have been buying some good cars cheap (cheaper than what they were worth 5 or so years ago) still lots of good stuff out there.

> > 3 years ago I placed a business card on the windshield of a 2-door Hornet that I saw parked in a driveway. Tonight, the owner called me up and we talked for 45 minutes about AMCs. He is getting old (with health issues) and is considering selling his Hornet. He told me he bought it new in 1976 and has kept it running the whole time. He has had it repainted once (original color) and has just put new tires on it. He said it has electrical problems (headlights won't stay on), but otherwise it runs great. Body is perfect - no rust, original everything. I am thinking of adding another AMC to my small fleet. But if not, I want to help the guy get what he deserves for this very nice original AMC. What does a car like this go for? I plan on looking on the Bay, but I really don't know if that is a good reference. What do you all think?
