I'm thinking of buying a 1973 450 SE with 129,000 orig miles in great shape except some rust in the rear floor pan. The rust hasn't gone all the way thru yet. It appears water has entered the car via a bad rear window seal. An easy fix I think. Everything else looks great, no door dings/dents and the interior is beautiful, well the wood finish on the dash is starting to crack. One of my neighbors currently owns the car and he's only the second owner. I've rarely seen him drive the car, it has mostly sat in his carport until recently when he moved it to the drive way. The color is a nice pale green with a tan interior. Here's my questions... What would be a fair price for such a car? Are there any trouble prone items I should look for when inspecting the car? Any help or suggestions from current or previous 116 owners would be greatly appreciated.
