The guy bought the '80's build nine to ten years ago when prices were higher and there were lots of buyers. To his credit he went through the car three or four years ago and freshened up major parts, normal maintenance that is expected but doesn't add value, just decreases value if not done well. His comment on cooling fans - if the radiator is sized right and has a proper shroud the mechanical belt driven fan is all you need, and the two pushers on the front block air flow and hurt more than they help, IMO. The multicolored LED grille and undercarriage lights are High School adds, again IMO. Uncle Bob told you that in hot rods Fords hold value better, as do coupes and roadsters over sedans. You've got a 40 year build that's non-Ford, 2dr sedan, Gen 1 SBC powered, and priced to get back what was paid years back plus Gateway's commission. Shine says you can buy a car like that for $25K all day long in his area. Maybe take a trip to Texas, pay Shine a fee to take you around, find a car and still be under $30K.... maybe $35K and Shine is smiling all the way to the bank with his fee!!
