thinking about buying friends 70 ss

[Highway Star]

Does the guy know what he has? I know he is your friend, and assume you wouldn't put the screws to him, but does he have any idea what he won't take for it? What is the story on the car? Is it an inheritance...where he may be happy taking 50 grand for it or something? Know what I mean? Do you have legitimate documentation that it is an LS6? If you buy it, are you keeping it?

I agree on the paint. Keep it if you can. I have seen some pretty amazing things done to bring old paint back to life.


We need pics man, got any pics?

he knows what he has. that is why he has taken care of it for so long. i jokinly offered him 60k last year and it must have got him to thinking about finally selling it. i was thinking of offering 100k this time and see if he will take it. he does not want to take it to auction because he does not want to pay the taxes on the income. he wants cash. he has the paperwork from when it was brand new. i plan on keeping it and showing it if he does finally sell it. i will post some pics as soon as i have time.
thanks

Since it's an LS6 that tends to drive the price up. I would start at $80,000 and see what he says. As mentioned don't paint it, you'll destroy the value of the car. It's worth what it is because it's a survivor. You paint it and it's no longer a survivor. Clay bar, buffing, etc, just don't paint it.
