Define Ragged? Really depends on what you've got. Rust? Is the car complete? Missing parts? Original engine?? 356A Coupe is pretty desirable.

That car is a convertible. That is automatic big points.

It's rough, but mostly there. Doesn't look like a complete rust bucket either.

This 356 is worth about $15-20k as it sits. Maybe more.

If you don't want it let me know. I'll buy it.

$6500 is a give away. Buy it for $6500 and sell it to me for $7500.

OMG. This is pretty funny.

Told you $6500.00 was cheap! At 65 large the guy's a bit nuts.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Geez, you had us all going. Yeh, for $6,500, I'll buy it right now! It's very rough, but if it's running it's definitely worth WAY more than $6,500 - probably $30K-50K. Open top cars worth way more than coupes and a 59 A is desirable.


Quick Reply: value of a ragged 59 hardtop?
