Guy was asking $1500, I got him to $1200. Needs a tranny, when it warms up, it doesn't move. I have a tranny sitting on the garage floor, so it should be a quick fix. I bought it at dusk, so I couldn't see all the defects until this morning. I was surprised to see it has the rare camel interior. I was always dreading this because of the lack of availability of replacement parts. Since it does need some new key parts (headliner, carpet, center console), I think I'm going to swap the entire interior to gray. Yes it will be a lot of work, but it will make the car nicer in the long run. I'll also be able to get rid of the smoke smell, yuck. I think a green/gray car will sell better than a green/camel.
It does have dents, scratches and chips on all sides of the car. The front fender is pushed in by the headlight, the drivers door molding fell off (in the trunk with no scratches), tiny bit of rust under the gas cap, rear bumper is scratched and chipped everywhere, trunk lid is full of scratches, passenger door has scratches by the door handle, and passenger front fender is misaligned and caused the door to rub on it when openned.
Its not going to be a top dollar car, but it should be able to fetch at least $3500-3700, or a $2500 profit.
If you are wondering, this would be #6 Bonneville in the driveway right now, so I opted to keep it at a family's farm until I can get to it.
If I do the interior swap, I'll have all those camel parts for sale, so heads up Gumball, Rusgreim, and all you other Camel interiors.
