As always: Overpriced in the view of most of us and the Price guides as well, but try to build a car of this supposed Quality.
If this is what you're looking for you can only get to the Point cheaper if you do everything including a high Quality paint Job all by yourself and even then it could become tight if you Need many NOS parts to complete.

In 1985 there was a very local junkyard that had two of these sitting side by side. $1000. 00 each Twin police package cars in blue. They were just used cars then

At first I agreed that it was over priced but then I thought about it. Reading the description it is in top value condition, so I suspect the drivetrain was rebuilt etc. Lets add it up. Clean used car 3-5k, good quality repaint 5k, rebuil drivetrain brakes exhaust 5-6k, add correct police equip 1-1.5k. Repair/replae interior 2-3k. Now you might be breaking even or be making 1-2k but this is his asking price and may come down.

That was 30 years ago.
Almost new every car becomes a $1,000.00 used car in its life cycle.

These were police package cars, in front of the yard for sale. Even at less than ten years old I saw them as something special.

They don't make thousand dollar used cars anymore

Not anymore what with immigration and buy here/pay here lots.

I don't know, I think $18500 is a deal, I have more than that into my car already.

I have always loved this body, it was my 2nd choice when I started looking for a CHP car although it would have been a Dodge I do like this Plymouth.
