Prices of these 65 GS's are getting out of control. This one is a nice survivor but it doesn't have alot of options such as the wood GS steering wheel, Vinyl top or upgraded 4 note horn. Plus there seems to be alot of aftermarket addons like a switch on the left kick panel and guages that aren't factory. If you're going to be asking that kind of money for that car, it needs to be perfect.
Sadly, it's not a paint and flip. It's not my car but the family bought this new. The man was elderly and not able to keep up with everything. It was rarely taken out of the garage for the past 25 years.
The market is in decline now and driver grade cars like this are not going to fetch the stupid money we saw in the plandemic era. This needs a lot to get it right, I see front end damage, a mediocre respray, lots or seals and soft goods needing replacement and the list goes on. being a northeast car is not a bonus either. Good luck on the sale.
