    Looks good but like Craig new paint scares me a bit. Give it a real close look for body work. Look for sanding marks. tape marks,paint lines, try to get an idea of what quality job they did. Did they just mask the car off or did they take it apart to paint?

    From what I can see frm the pix; I agree w/ those who say but it. I wud look in the trunk area, floors, engine bay "shock towers" and under dash for rust and possible metal repairs. Also, wud look for hacked up wiring. If those areas looked OK -- It wud be a done deal -- PERIOD. (y)
    U by a 35+ yr old car figuring it has some issues, just, hopefully not many major ones. Four grand ain't a lot of money in the car world. Some folks have that inveseted in wheel and tire combos. JMO

    That's not bad is long as there is not rust. Be cautious.Open minded. Look under the dash over the fuse block for rust holes or patch work. Good luck.
