Forget a low bid.
You should sell it to a collector who can afford it.

 

Yeah it needs some work.
The main value that car will have to a collector it that it is mostly complete.
Trim etc is very difficult to find sometimes, but your car looks complete.
The body seems to be in great shape for restoration.
My recomendation is not to sell it as "transportation", but rather a "hobby/restoration project".

Honestly, if someone offered ME $875 for that car, I would tell them to ****-off; the front fender is worth that.

 

If I had that car, I would be buffing that valve cover, polishing that paint, re-finishing the wood. I saw a '65 here that absolutely turned heads and stopped traffic. You don't see them anymore.

It sold alright. Well, given the US economy and leadership, I guess it couldn't wait. I was trying to find room for it myself.
