Well, some nice things have been done already:

 

-5 spd conversion

-new brakes

-new alternator

-diving boards ditched for early chrome bumpers 

-Nardi steering wheel

-coco mats

-clean uncut door panels 

-maybe a crack free dash?

 

Still, it’s a ‘75 that needs a complete cosmetic restoration and who knows what else done mechanically.

 

Even given the current market I wouldn’t want to spend more than 8K on it.

While I'm no expert on people and the parting of their money, I would say this car is maybe slightly ambitious in asking knowing the market is full of hagglers. The seller is a car buff, his location is Classic Cars West which also doubles as a beer garden and art gallery. This would be the exact type of place I would operate if I liked dealing with people.  

 

I say it's not a bad car nor a great car for the money. One would need to drive it and experience the ride to know if all the work done was proper and that what else it needs is not major.   

 

Go there, have a few beers, and drive it.

I think it is overpriced and there are plenty of other cars that can be had for much better value. 

 

New brakes are like $100, an alternator is $40, etc. so I do not really see that as added value.

Only nice additions I see is the 5 speed and maybe those early bumpers. 

 

 

This is my personal opinion. I am not attacking the seller.
