I think I have a pretty good match to what my friend wants here. Does anyone know this car or dealer?

Nice car.... Lot of things I do like & a few I don't... 
Mostly the paint looks good but theres allot of solvent pop on the hood seen in the close up of the 340 emblem... 
Damn shame they painted the door strikers and pin switches... Can't see the latches or screws that mount the latches...  Then I watched the video, latches & screws are painted....All fixable, just a shame cause it doesn't take much to get that stuff right..
Missing the two plugs about the license plate in the trunk jamb..
No shot of the fender tag or mention of a broadcast sheet...

replaced LH inner fender - I'll "ASSUME" the fender tag is long gone
red overspray on the radiator, brings the question- WHY?
decent pics of the floors, is there a rear sway bar under there?  I see the spring brackets, but no bar?  :takealook:

Yeah, the bottom could use some love, but if the intent is to drive it I don't know how far it's worth going...  Though personally I drive my cars but the bottom gets the full treatment...  Coronet I'm working on has the primer with overspray...

The red overspray on the radiator almost looks like they sprayed the whole core red... Not good...

I was liking it until I saw the underside. It always surprises me when people spend so much money up top and on the interior and then leave the underside  :looney:

All good catches. I don't like the underside and being from Michigan, it would probably scare this Texas boy to death. Dark paint hides too much for pictures. Saw the strikers and door hardware painted. Wonder what other shortcuts they took. Did not catch the inner fender replaced but was going to call about the tag. I'm not going to buy a car without at least a tag or hopefully a sheet. He's been wanting a red on red, 340, 4 speed with air since our bud had one in mid 70's.

I don't really see anything terribly wrong for the asking price. If they were asking $70K I would say they were out to lunch. Thinking you could maybe buy this car in the $49K-$52K range, I think you're doing alright. Of course there's better deals out there but a red on red 4spd car is a pretty tall order, even if this turns out to be not legit, no tags, no sheet, etc... I think it's a pretty decent car for the money...

I believe gone are the days you'd find a car restored to this level with these colours and options in the $30K range :alan2cents:

Nice car, few issues as noted above.  I think this car has the typical dealer mark up of about $10k unfortunately.  IMO its a mid-$40s car.

Yea I was assuming it is what it is, but if it isn't then yea ....low to mid $40's

Yup, no tag puts him in the same spot with his AAR he has now. Just called them. No tag or sheet. It's probably a green auto on the column originally. Lol.

Not that there's anything wrong with that......  Or so I'm told... :haha:
