I ( a Lady) bought this car because they are a dying breed, but it seems to me that everyone is a little to stuck up to see what this car could be, not what it is at the moment. there is a little rust in the floor pan on the left side, seal panel, the bottom of the doors, a little where the roof is connected, the radiator support beam will also need replacing, and there is a dent on the front left mud guard. other than that she is in pretty good condition considering her age. I have seen younger cars in alot worse condition. I am now not going to sell this and going to keep her due to the crap that I have been put through trying to pass on a diamond in the rough. I was asking $2500. that was it. as that is all I had paid for her myself.
You'll get a lot of "experts" tell you all sorts of things about Sandmans, but I can guarantee you yours is one. Not super valuable, but rare and pretty unique nowadays. I think you were asking a very fair price at $2500 if it has the amount of rust you describe.
