Someone in my general area is selling a 1975 project. I haven't yet looked at it, but the owner says the motor has been completely rebuilt by a local shop (no details provided), possibly up to 1.9L. The L-Jet FI is included but no guarantees on its condition. The engine and transmission are out of the car, which has been recently repainted by a local shop (probably a decent driver quality paint job, nothing special).
The seller says the car came from Oregon and has no rust. I have not yet independently confirmed this, as the car is more than 3 hours away from me. If I were to go take a look at it this would be the first thing to check. The interior is in rough condition and will need to be replaced or redone somehow. (For example the dash has a split in it.) The seller asks $5000 for this project. Is that high, low, etc.? What would it be worth? I apologize if this is the wrong forum for asking this question. I am happy to move it to another category if people suggest that I should do it. |

The answer is "no" unless you ask... Group: Members Posts: 1,184 Joined: 21-November 15 From: White Plains New York Member No.: 19,387 Region Association: North East States |
If you have the time, take a ride and check it out. Based upon your research here, you should be able to make some kind of assessment as to what it's worth. Look closely at the usual problem areas and if you're interested, be prepared to make an offer and take it. The asking price is just that, "asking". If it's in pieces, then he is probably willing to part with it for less $. Good Luck.
