Too few pedals.....

Kind of nice. Seats seem to be the worst of it.

There is a 2004 C70 Cabriolet at the Kansas City Pick-N-Pull on Winner Rd. They are selling it whole not parting it out.

1. Top need work.
2. Pretty straight except for the upper lip of the trunk. Will need a new trunk lid.
3. Driver door will not open from the inside.
4. Does have the SC-901 audio system.
5. Engine Model: B5234T9
6. VIN: YV1NC62D74J049223

Might have to add suspension bits and tires to the list, along with prophylactic timing belt &c.
Nothing wrong with it that $3-4K wouldn't fix, then you would have a car worth ... ca. $1799.
In the Real World, it's a $500 car as-is.

Wonder if getting to the blower and core is still a nightmare like the 240s. I did two, and the second one convinced me to put the job on the tippity-top of the list of Things I Will Never Do Again.
Second on that list is oil-field roughneck. (East Texas and The Big Thicket.)

Yeah, unfortunately the current market places $500 cars at $2k+. I can't wait for things to calm down... it's ridiculous.

Apparently it's slightly easier, but still not fun. I haven't done it on either car, fortunately.

Maybe you need to sell a couple!

Real world used car prices fail the sanity check.

$500 from a private transaction ... perhaps.
Pick-N-Pull would be better off breaking it up at $500.
If it where a coupe it would be worth more in AME.

I could sell a few at $500 each and hope to bring people back down to this universe, or I could go with the flow and sell my 240 roller for $5k. Hmm....you may be onto something!
