I've seen some as high as $6500 (with good interior though), I paid $1400
for my 80 Brown Spit, with bad interior, rusted floorpanels, worthless soft
top. If I spend $500 for a top, $1500 for a paint job and $200 for fixing
the floorboards I'll have a car comparable to that one, but it will have
non-original paint, repaired rust and non-original top. I think it's a good
price. I wish I would have found a rust free car, even though it's not that
bad in my car, you know it's going to come back and ruin that paint job.
