RE: How much would you offer?
well 2 months ago, I'd have offered up to 6.5 k$ - now, having heard what you guys said and considering he still hasn't sold the car, I may take a more aggressive approach - we will see ...

^^^^ $2K for a convertible? Nah!!!
To place a current value on it, figure it is worth at least $20K when finished and subtract out the cost to get it to that point. If he is asking $7600, that would give you a budget of $12,400 to get it done. Could you do it for that? I think you probably could if the driveline is truly in good shape. If you really want the car, try showing up with 65 $100 bills and see if he is a go. If not, pull another 5 of them out of your pocket. If he's been trying to sell it for 2-1/2 months, he may be more likely to meet your price. Oh yeah, this is assuming that the floorboards are not rusted out!!! If so, all bets are off as far as value.
No offense longlive289s, but 65/66 coupes are not a good benchmark for determining market value of 65/66 convertibles or fastbacks. I love the coupes too, but they're only worth about half what the other two body styles are.

68EFIvert,I bought it about 3 months ago. It has some rust issues,but nothing horrible,or at least in my eyes. I'm putting a full one piece floor pan, torque boxes and full rockers lol. Everything else is solid.I'm doing all the labor myself,so only have a grand in all the metal.I'm never going to sell this one,soI won't even pencil in labor.I'm going to the local comm college and learn how to paint and will use the vert as my project.
