The good news:
The interior is in really good shape - dash does not look to be cracked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Bumpers are in great shape. Even the rubber bumper tops do not have a lot of distortion in them. This looks like an enthusiasts car - it has had a lot of work done on it. I'm not a fan of red calipers but it shows who ever did this car put some effort into it. Nice rims. |

Thanks for the input guys, The guy I spoke with said he's been in and outof this car and explained to me some other things that aren't posted on ebay
1) Rear window leaks when rains hard, he recommened getting it resealed. 2) a 4" diameter hole under passenger seat from rust has been repaired, but did not replace the floor plan, I believe it's just a patch. He said it had dual weber carbs on it when he got it but idled pretty roughly, he had this single carb installed which someone he knew recommened and now idles smooth. He said he has receipts of over 5grand in parts when the restoration was done (2003). He also claims that if the car is on a jack the doors shut properly. It has aftermarket springs which have lowered the car as well. He says it doesn;t bottom out or tire rub but gets close. This guy says he drives it everyday. He's 62 years old. What is a fair price for this car? Is $3,500 to much? |
