Re: New Old Guy asking for advice
I'd say it's a $500-$800 car. If you can drive it safely around and it was basically turnkey then maybe $1500-2000 but it looks really rough to me.

It's only worth what you're willing to pay. If it's close enough, to go drive it & think it over. Check the floors for bad rust if you go see it. Hard to tell with such small photo files.

Photo number 7 looks like I left my glasses off. I actually like the paint scheme. If it is driveable I would leave it that way for a while. But that is just me.mickey12 wrote:Looking to buy this '62 Corvair for $2,000. Ugly duck for sure, but looks don't much matter to me. Owner says runs, stops and has low mileage and everything works. I know it hard to make a call just based on photos, but take a look at the photos and given me your candid opinion if its worth the money.
Thanks, Mike

Re: New Old Guy asking for advice
Around here that would be a $1000 car give or take a couple hundred if it goes and stops well and is not eaten up with rust. Floors there?

Not sure about the floors, the sheet metal rust is not a big problem for me, but the engine looks it went through a flood.
