I myself cannot even think of buying a car until the spring time when I get my income tax return. Besides the money, if I bought a classic car right now, I would not have much time to find storage before the snow flies. I believe there are quite a few people like me. You would most likely do better in the spring if you dont sell it before. Personally I think its a sweet looking car ,and I could live with the rust for the first couple of years before I would want to fix. I would want door panels right away though. Good luck with the sale!
