So I was gassing up at a local station and an orange Squareback pulls up at the next pump. It looked to be in unmolested original condition, including the paint. Started talking to the owner and after chatting about the car for a bit I asked if she ever considered selling it. She said yes, she is thinking about it but hadn't put it on the market yet. She said she'd like to get $4K.

She has some original documentation, including orig. owners manual. Also has the factory roof rack, radio and other bits tucked away. Appears to be rust free, I know; I did see the front floors and they are very solid. Anyway, I don't need to find another car, but sometimes they find you. What is the market for a '71 in very solid, restorable shape?
