Not mine - needs head gasket - not worth $15,000 but he is saying it might be worth less.  What's a reasonable offer?  $3,500?  

Is the guy going to laugh and hang up?

Per the wife I'm only allowed one non-running Datsun at a time.

Poor guy.

Has something mint, and knows it is mint.  However its also nothing special, and he'll never accept that.

I think $3500 is probably good just for the condition, but he will never accept it.

15k? I want some of what ever it is he's smoking! It's not that rare. Not common either, but that's because they really weren't that great. I'd rather have a b210, and they were pretty crappy

I sent him a text and mentioned it's really a $2,500 car.  He agrees it's not a $15,000 car but says it's not a $2,500 car either.  It's in great shape but nobody will pay a lot for this type "rare" car.

"I'm not entirely sure what this thing is worth".  We see that.

My mom had one of those.  From the era of when a passenger side mirror was an option!

Sounds like a candidate for bring a trailer or one of the other auction sites. Not 15K car but there is a little value there to the right person.

Rare but not desirable

To quote the great Rick Harrison "Just because it’s rare doesn’t mean it’s valuable."

Honestly I could see it being worth more than we think to the right person. It might even have value to a prop house looking for period correct vehicles for movies. This has the right flavor for a background car. Not many left that look that nice too. I still doubt $15k but $5k? Likely.
