I have found lots of great info on this site in the past and just registered yesterday for myself. I currently own a 1968 350 HO Coupe. I am looking at purchasing a 1968 Convertible. I'll list what I've learned about the car and if someone could help me with what my offer should be, that would be great. The owner is asking 13K, but I know he's not going to get that. Here goes: 1968 350 Convertible. 3 Owners. Restored body & paint in 1992 in Montana. Rear quarters were replaced. Both bumpers re-chromed. Has been garage-kept, not climate-controlled since then. Needs new top. Engine never removed. Has PS, no PB, but does have AC. Standard interior with AM/DFM radio. Sheetmetal is sound, subframe good, floor pans good, body bushings good. Needs rear pinion seals. Motor has a slight miss, but hasn't been being run like it should have, either. No emblem on glass or glovebox. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Well, after several weeks of (patiently!) waiting, I'm going to own a 68 convertible. Much thanks to Vikki for posting the pics for me and to everyone else that took time to reply. I originally offered 8500, he came down to 10,000 after a few weeks, I offered 9000, then got the call (with 2 minutes to go in the Super Bowl)that if I wanted it for 9, I could have it. I plan to go get it next week, can't wait to send the VIN to PHS. Thanks again!
Just pretend you paid $10k anyways, then you already have a free grand to spend on parts. Plus it will set the right tone justifying future expenses.
Every dollar saved on one part is really just less you have to pay for the next part. Eventually, you will be picking up everything you need for free!!
Why not send it now and get the information prior to commitment?
(Is it numbers match, etc.?)
Congrats on the find.
Because for $9k he doesn't give a rats behind whether it is or isn't, he's buying it for that price anyway. Probably just wants to see what he really has before he starts on it. Be awesome if it turned out to be an H.O. or something. Either way as a non-numbers matching car he did well.
