You could do better.. Depends on condition really. Perfect body just needing paint, interior not too rough, yeah it'd be OK.

Thats seem like a lot for a conversion. I'd go over it and make sure everything was converted, including brakes,l suspension, and trans.

the problem is...that the notch is so rare now that even the converted ones arn't frowned upon anymore...this is especially true in the midwest...if its a notch its automatically worth $1500 more than the rest...MAKE sure the body has no rust...you can always replace the interior but bodyworks cost some carzy money...

Ask him if he switched the suspension too and how many miles are on the engine.

There is no way I would pay that much for a car, in what sounds like bad shape. I only paid $2500 for my notch with a 2 year old paint job and 111k miles.

Wow the more i read, the more i realize what a good deal i got on my notch. I bought mine with new (orange peel MAACO) paint, a fresh 306, Tremec, original 5L car for $2600. It was on the stangnet classifieds and about 350 miles away from me. With the trailer rental and gas, i ended up spending $3000 for the car. Up here in MA notches are getting scarse......i could get close to $6000 for mine up here!

Who cares about the engine/motor, It costs so much more to get a decent paint job. A car with alot of rust is harder to fix than a car with a blown headgasket.

If you have the money to get it from where it is now to where you want it to be and still come up with a price that you think is decent then go for it. I personally would walk away from the car and find something else that is a little better for a little more money.
