I’ve been rebuilding classics and antiques for over 35 years and I’m aware of negotiations, my budget is around 400.00 so you can see why I haven’t asked anyone to negotiate. My father and I did this as a hobby, he has since past away but the hobby is still in my blood. I am doing a 69 GTS 340 like the one I had as a youngster, parts are expensive so being on a fixed income I watch what I buy. I hope you get your asking price and I don’t mean to offend anyone but 800 to 1000 is way out of my range and I would expect no one to neg that far.
