That's a little rough for the Euro crowd. Pricing is a bit high for something that has only had a quick re-spray. I do like the door pulls, what model are they off of?

Am I right in thinking that's a little high for the condition?

I think that's a reasonable asking, starting, negotable, price.
Not too log ago I wouldhave labeled it a 3K car.
But the whole world's gone crazy.
The ad doesn't give much info, but for a 70 convertible, I think the starting price the dealer is asking could be negotiable.
The trim on the Dutchman panel looks like it has snaps on it where the cover boot would go. Usually means that area has been worked on and filler was applied.
The car's not perfect, but a good start for a driving resto IMO.

Based on my experience, no European would spring for that car from a New York dealer from a Craigslist listing. Who knows what lies under that quick paint job, especially given where it is coming from, the interior is crappy, it has autotemp, the center caps are wrong, the underhood is badly touched up to make it appear less rusty, the replacement radiator is junk and the door pulls are off a formal I think. Just a real mess full of problems awaiting the prospective owner.
Superior auto sales must have hit bad times if they are selling junk like this one. About 4 years ago, they were selling nice stuff, like this one that I wanted badly and failed to snag.

Yeah. . . And I don't like the radiator cap either.
Now that's a nice 71.
Your experience see things I didn't first notice or thought there are more issues than described on the 70 vert as advertised. You're probably correct in your assessment.
Too bad the dealer didn't give a more detailed description, especially on what's needed on the suspension work. That could be anything from brakes to replacing frame rails.
It's on eBag now. Curious what it'll go for.

Not necessarily. There's a lot of these cars with snaps that were screwed in by trim shops when making a new boot. The plastic boot clips were impossible to find until someone started reproducing them.
The clips under that trim.... That's a different story... Nobody makes those.
IMHO, looking at the wheel well trim is a good indication of a decent car. There's no repop stuff and good used is very hard to find. This car has decent trim, so I'm betting that it didn't see New York winters. This car is a little pricey, but it's a dealer and they are always looking for the most $$. This would be a good time to buy this car (winter) and you might cut a decent deal.
I wouldn't buy it without a personal inspection.
There's a couple members here in the Buffalo area that could take a look at it....
Why is there only one floor vent lever? Should be two, or did the 300s eliminate one?

This is a question that has come up before. Some say that AC cars only had one vent for the passenger, and in fact I have seen one vent controllers for sale on ebay. On the other hand, all three of my AC cars have had two vents.

That trim does look good, but then the lenses and so many other parts on this car look average or below average, that interior is awful. Didn't know about the clips for the Dutchman's panel trim, looks like I'll be hunting those down this year.
Regarding your new avatar, have you been binge watching Twilight Zone?

I think the Auto-Temp option deleted the right vent. Auto-Temp Gizmos got jammed in the kick panel area.
Cars with autotemp 1 only had one fresh air vent. This is because the central controller is located behind the passenger kick panel and takes up the whole space. This unit is vacuum controlled and no one rebuilds them, and few ever work anymore due to deteriorated seals and other problems.
