Price for a 61 parts car?

[black62tbird]

I need some advice. I own a 62 Thunderbird and I have found a 1961 parts car. The owner said to make him an offer, but I have no idea how much to offer him. It has been sitting for 15 years, has a great back bumper and all of the chrome is still in great shape...hard to believe. No motor, no front windshield, but a nice back one. Seats are shot. I really just want the back bumper and a lot of the chrome.

What should I offer? What is the going rate for a parts car of this condition? I was just going to offer him 100.00 for anything I can pull off of it.

Thanks.

Offer him the $ 100. Does the car come with a title?
If you get to the point where you want to dispose of the remains, you may need the title. We do here in Texas! Good rear bumper is worth more than $ 100 - maybe even $ 200.

Thanks for the advice. We never even talked about the title. That is a good point, though. Yes, the bumper is a good buy...I should get to this before it snows.
