I saw this. $1100 seemed a bit on the high side for the amount of work required. There are occasionally some in decent condition (running or good body or a little of both) in AK and KS for <$2000. That seems like a much better deal than $1000 for not-running AND poor body...

Is that out of line?

Its rare so I think its worth 1100 but I bet he would take $850 for it
