    I pretty much agree with most of the guys on this one. I see maybe $6500 at best but it's only because of the color and the interior which I'm not fond of either...but mainly because I don't like big bumper cars. Of course that's just my opinion and if you ask my wife, she'll tell you it don't count for much. Seriously, I think you can find a lot nicer car for that kind of money that you will be very pleased with if you'll just be patient. :)

    That is a damn nice car. He is maybe a tad ambitious on his price but like has been said before, it doesn't need much work, and you've already said you don't know how to do the work anyway. So when you consider those things, there is a price for that. Good luck with your search!

    Shell looks great from 20 feet however I would not assume it doesn't need anything, even if the body is all what he says it is. I see no mention in its mechanical condition at all other than an ac recharge. Have you asked mechanical questions? Believing it to be an 33 year original beauty would make me believe all the motor and suspension parts may be as well.

    I agree with the others on the price and would definitely have to kick the tires to get anywhere near that. It better not need absolutely anything to be at least a daily driver.

    i agree with Gene, i would like to see under the floormats...:yup:

    also...you are buying 34 year old parts....all the rubber seals in the car will be cracking in about 5-700 miles...(motor, trans., window,etc. etc.) :yup:
    assuming the ..."all org." story.:hmmm:
