Craigslist - '67 Avion

Avion restorations vary from around $10K to $25K in my experience. And that figure is largely determined by the underlying condition of the coach. A good coach will run between $3500 and $9000. With the transparency of the internet prices are set nationally. Seldom nowadays do you find some clueless fellow selling his parents Avion for $1000. At least not if it's a candidate for restoration. So, unless you actually inspect this offer it's hard to put a number on it. And I doubt that many people buy sight unseen, but admit that someone might. In which case caveat emptor.

Agreed. A good candidate for a resto is very important. You can pick up a crappy Avion for a 1000. A good one, ready for resto, is more. But the truck looks like garbage too.

When I did my Amerigo resto, i could have picked up a few "for free to 500". I chose one that was in a little better shape for $1200. Put in around $10,000. I would think that if this poster had a renovated inside, he would have posted that, cause he isn't going to have much luck selling the combo at that price.
