I am supposed to pick up a 68 tommorrow for my sons first car, I purchased it on ebay and am a little concerned that I may have over paid for the car. $10,800.00 it was item # 300076835249 please help out a fellow dad. Thanks, looking forward to your replys.

Looks like a pretty good deal to me but it depends on what's hiding under the paint.

I don't see any obvious glaring flaws. Depends on what the underside looks like, too.

Looks to be decent, good feedback and good description by seller. It's always good to look, see, feel in person when possible. Even if you think you paid a little more than you should have at todays prices, all you have to do with a car like this is wait a year or 2 for the market to go up, and it will!

What are things that I should look for when checking the car out, I know rust bubbles but I really dont know what else. Thanks for the quick feedback

Good looking car. I'd say you bought it right considering what these cars are bringing now. I doubt you could buy any project car and get it into this kind of shape for the price you paid unless you could do the majority of the labor and paint work. Looks good!

There were several other bids on the car, which means somebody else thought it was worth the money. If you don't like it you could buy the other one, woops, there's not one. As far as what to look for, if it feels good wear it. Value is a state of mind. If you keep the car dry and maintained, it'll never be worth less than it is to day. That's my valuable opinion.

looks like a nice car :D
of course you want to look for rust in the normal places an any past damage thats covered by the pretty new paint ;)
if the front discs are original you also want to check if they are leaking ...
the 4 piston calipers have a bad habit of doing this until you re sleeve them
all together from what I can see in the photos you got a good deal :thumbsup:
