Fair price for this 72 Dino 246 GT? Opinions wanted...

As some of you know I've been looking at this 1972 Dino 246 GT a dealer has in Florida. We haven't come to an agreed upon price yet. Thought I'd check and see what y'all thought so here are the specs...

1972 Dino GT, about 31,000 miles, Metallic Blue (original color).

Had a PPI done, condition overall is very good, mechanically it is very good. Engine was just rebuilt 2 years ago, tranny rebuilt last year. Only real mechanical issues are front arm bushings need to be replaced (rear have already), one vent latch needs replacement, oil temp gauge or sensor is faulty, and brake pads are nearing the end of their life.

Paint is in good condition, it is mostly original, has some stone chips on the front and some repaired stone chips. Supposedly some rust spots on the lower door had been repaired with new metal and repainted. Overall exterior is very good.

Interior is mostly original so some of it shows fading and shows use. There are various small things on the interior mainly from wear over the years but nothing major.

Under car, brake hoses appear to have been changed, paint on the wheels isnt perfect, has new Pirelli tires but they don't look as good as the Michelins that probably should be on the car. Belly pan has been changed, has some bottoming damage at belly pan and in front of the car.

Engine runs perfect, compression is nearly perfect, AC runs cold.

Asking price is $68,000 on the car. I offered up to $62,000 but it was not accepted.

Thanks for any advice...!

Comparisons are tough since there aren't many GTs out there, and their conditions vary so vastly...

 

Thanks Tillman, decided I really dont want a red or Yellow Dino.

Looks like they're willing to come down to $65k, as is.

Hummmm....

 

Called Norwood about that red/black Dino and waiting to hear back from the owner on price. Its serial # 03546 with 25,452 miles, supposedly in excellent condition overall -- not concourse but an excellent daily driver. Will let you know price when I hear back from the seller.

Interestingly this red car started out Metallic Blue too according to the Dino Register.

Apparently the current owner hasnt driven it at all, the engine hadnt even been started in 2 years (it was just serviced and runs fine now). Of course I havent done a PPI on it though.

According to Dino Register it had 24,000 miles on it in 1990 and it only has about 1500 more miles 15 years later!?!? The seller has owned the car since 1990 and did an interior restoration on it.

It's in Texarkana TX...

 

Hey Doody you still have your P-car too?

Yup - reserve not yet met so not much to compare it to!!

Thanks. Think I'm going to stick to my $62k offer max, and if it doesnt get it, oh well. I'll keep looking!

Thanks for the opinions!
