Particularly the 4 door. I say meth, not crack. You don't reckon they meant the decimal to go one place to the left, do you?
I think there was supposed to be a decimal point in the middle of both of those asking prices.
For reference, five years ago I sold my rust free & recently repainted '70 mustang coupe with to many rebuilt, replaced or upgraded parts to list for $7k. I had owned it for about 6 years and I think I just missed breaking even. When I bought it (for $800) it looked better than either of those Novas and could pass a NJ inspection.
Edit: Time flies! I sold that stang almost 7 years ago!
I could see a top price of 3500 fot the 2 door depending on condition of the drivetrain.
The 4 door at the most is a 2500 dollar car.
This guy does it right with a 2500 cat.

The 4 door is, at most, a $750 car. It's a driver. What are going to do with it? It's not collectible and never will be, and you can't rod it (without getting laughed at). The Catalina is more like it.
has 74,978 original miles on it. needs a new gas tank and a few seals fixed. has all the original pieces. asking $5500 obo. please call/text four23- 2eight5- zero3fivefive. DO NOT EMAIL US UNLESS YOU INCLUDE "I WANT YOUR CAR" IN THE SUBJECT LINE!!! (have had alot of spam email). thanks
$3500? 'Needs a new gas tank and a few seals replaced' (that means it doesn't run)? It's the later 'big bumper' car? Bad paint? At least it's got the 'sorta' Rallye wheels, even if they are body color. $350 is more like it. Maybe $500 max not running, but it better not have any perforated rust.
EDIT: That Catalina is more in line, even with the stupid steering wheel. Wonder where he came across the wire wheels (Daytons, maybe)?
In reply to Curmudgeon: I keep being told this stuff is worth more than I think. I'm willing to bet both odo's have rolled over.
I was thinking something had happened overnight and these things were in high demand or something?
I mean hell I used to get rough but DD quality 2nd gen T/A's all day for 1200-1500. Now I have a hard time finding one with a engine that isn't completely rusted out for under 5000.
I can't price stuff like this anymore.
Looks like a lot of these Nova owners are doing crack or meth. At least this one has the ultra rare 283 straight six coupled with the super rare 402 Powerglide. I think he's lying about the kid; he really needs the money to fix the 'G' on his keyboard which seems to be coupled straight to the 'caps lock' or 'shift' keys.

Also heavily into the crack at $6850.00, but at least the car's much more rare than either the 2 or 4 door Novas:

The hood scoop, steering wheel and the APC pedals etc would have to go and the car needs to come down about an inch and a half to two inches but otherwise I think I'd rock it.
Oh, crap. There's meth in the Britmobile community too.

If it was a 6 banger or V8 I might be making a road trip... the VW 4 pot takes all the fun out of it, though.

$3700 for 4 Mustang GT's, 2-'65 and 2-'66. Screaming deal, right? Hold on there, Bucky... http://www.kcode.net/GT65-66.htm
Funny lookin' GTs. Not even fastbacks. Still not a bad deal for someone wanting to build a 'Stang coupe or 2. Or a CP AX car. Or an AI NASA car. Or... dammit, I better shut up NOW before I pick up the phone and get myself in trouble.
If you want to accuse someone of drug abuse........you're the one trolling craigslist for late 70s Nova's.
