I was looking on craigslist and i've seen this custom 145 for sale for a couple weeks. I've been thinking about maybe buying it but I dont want it if it wasnt done right. Its located in Natomas.

Nice. Is that a normal 'long' rear window in front of the old style split back section? Or a custom piece of glass?

It is nice,I would have bought it to haul lumber but he shaved the drip rail.
Plexiglass long window,and stock 70- swing out rear 1/4 windows.
Eli did that one up,I gave him some sheet metal from my 70-145 when it met the sawsall.

depends on how it looks inside. if the inside looks as good as the out, i don't think $2k or so would be at all out of the question for a cool custom, it looks like the rest of the bodywork (aside from the paint, obviously) has been done already.

2k? I was thinking more like 800. It's registered as non-op and the ad says it will need to be trailored away.

even if it needs to be trailored. 2k inst bad for all the work that was done. looks like it was done correct also. thats how i would do it if i did it. i would just change the side window to one long unit though thats it. looks awsome 2k is a deal IMO. thats alot of time in that car.

these are important details when asking how much something is worth :grrr:

if he wants $1000 and it doesn't say "firm" next to the price tag my guess is that he would take 800. which sounds plenty worth it to me.

I give him that in a heartbeat if it was around here, but that's a bit far for me to drag it home.

Yup cars still for sale. I went to go look at it a couple of days ago. It needed a little more work than I expected but its a good deal for what hes asking. His name is Eli and his number is 916-337-5898. Hes out of town for a week but I think he said he would be back next saturday or sunday.
