That's a high price for a pre-'67, four door, automatic, and crashed.

i mean, looks like some suspension work, a door and a fender?

cant really tell from the pics, but the damage doesnt LOOK too deep.

high price? yeah, but these cars arent getting any easier to find :-/

I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Automatic, and a pretty hard hit.

I'd keep looking.

Maybe, possibly if the A-pillar isn't dinged, just new crossmember/fender/door.

A B18/Automatic 122 is a pitiful creature indeed, though. Slow as hell.

I would say yes, it is a high price for the damage it has. But don't everyone go a'knockin an autobox. I hunted for months to try and find an auto and now here I am needing some interior shifter parts for it and there isn't a single parts car to be found.

Do you think I could get the contact info of this person to see if they would be willing to part it out?

These are still finding their way, occasionally, to the junk yards here in California with no rust and no real damage.

Find one here and drive it back. Much easier and cheaper than fixing rust.
