Pardon the lousy photo but all i had was my phone camera. It's an 82 with the sport package, gauges, factory cb, with auto trans. 156K. Originally a Florida car and now tucked away in a back street garage. Couldn't get a good look underneath. Body is straight. This party also has another in Florida that is a 5 speed. I don't know about you but one guy shouldn't be allowed to have two of these things. That being said he could be talked out of this one. If interested I'll forward the info.
:o and sport to boot *jaw drops*
Holy crap! how good/bad of shape is it in?
any idea of a sale price?
Body is straight, roof panel has vinyl removed and painted, roof panel headliner on passenger-side was hanging, interior looked OK otherwise. It is drivable, CB works, couldn't see underneath, felt up around driver-side frame and a-frame, seemed OK for what that is worth. He is the second owner, has a house in Florida, bought it in Florida and drove it back and forth to Pa. then built a new garage to store it from the elements. Also has an 82 concord limited and an 86 wagon that he is driving that body and interior are pretty clean except for the dreaded headliner. He talked around $7.800 for the Sundancer. Wagon could also be for sale but wants to hang on to tha limited for awhile yet.
Wow.Wow.Wow!First one I've seen in a long time, thats for sale! Wow!!!
If anybody is serious let me know and I will forward the info and try to get more details.
Unfortunately, it's beyond me. It's too far, and it's too much.
Hopefully, someone with more resources can get it.

I'd say right in the neighborhood of 10k, but it's really a buyers market

Yeah. Selling right now is tough.
I've had several friends downsize their 'toy' collection and have to take 10-15K less than the car is worth just to move it. Or it just sits and goes nowhere.
7800$ seemed like too much to me, in need of [some] restoration.. especially right now with what I've seen go for around that... but I wasn't really sure what it was worth

if the frame is in good shape then 7800 is a pretty fair price cause lord knows when we will see another listed for sale
I'll see if I can get back there and take some better pics and what the car would need. The garage was pretty tight, and possibly nail him down to a what would he let it go for price. At least it is not outside rotting away.
Is that the one near Wilkes Barre/Scranton area?
you mean there is another one? They're coming out of the wood work.

I've heard 3000 but that number is more or less depending on what you read.
I think the consensus is less then 200. Including the Concord 'Dancers the number is around 500. No records were kept but that is the best guesses from those in the know.
I think the number I have must include the toyotas converted as well
Just checked the Eaglepedia and my numbers are off. Sorry about that.

this is why I choose eagles to restore, no one not even AMC has numbers for anything ;D
I have that 84 sedan resto project waiting for you yet padre. Keep me posted.
The last one I saw on the net for sale went for 14,500 it was cherry with less than 15k miles. That thing could be restored...nicely....for around 5 or 6 ,grand asuming it is relativly rust free, so in my opinion considering its historic value and just the rarity of it that price does not seem too out of line. I look at it like this, an old camaro or mustang convertible...in similar condition, that were produced in much higher numbers goes for 15-20 grand and they wont get you around in a foot of snow.

Somone had posted some pictures of a Sundancer on here a year or two ago. If I remember correctly had had 30-40 thousand on it and was in good shape although some of the mechanicals weren't in great shape. He started out asking $13000 for it and eventually got $5500 or $5800 for it on Ebay.
I think the asking price is a good starting point. I have no idea what it should be priced. Maybe it will have to go lower before it actually sells... who knows...
If the car had low miles, and was in great driving condition, then I'd say mid to high teens is pretty fair. But don't forget that the economy is in the crapper right now, and selling bigger ticket items are getting harder.
A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
I think I also remember someone selling a Sundancer and starting out at about the low teens here at the nest, and then it going lower till in was in around $8000. I have no idea if it got sold or not.
I think it's the same one priya is talking about.

That's the one I was talking about. It eventually sold on ebay for $5500 or $5800, I don't remember exactly, but it was under $6000
Too true guys...it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If I was pullin down a 6 figure income I would buy that thing in a heartbeat....but i can wish in one hand and....well you know the rest :P.... The good thing is at that price it wont go to someone who just wants a cheap beater....if it does sell it will almost certainly be someone who really wants the thing....Its one of those cars...either you want it so bad you can taste it, or you could care less about it...no grey areas with this one.
Oh yeah!!....I for got to tell ya, that is one "egg-cellent" find....Eggs to you my friend!!!
