If someone actually offered her $1k she should take it.

mr914

Right, that's my point.. I don't think anyone offered that. But it is an 79 .. I guess anything is possible

I've bought worse for more....but Euro '78 low (VERY hard) KM's and a crazy rare color...

mr914

Yeah and I guess with 170k miles it's not really a collector car .

VanD

They thought that about 911's also, and a 928 is a more robust (although more complex also) vehicle.

ltoolio

Ha! Was thinking the exact same thing.

If this were near me I'd pay full price for it. It's a 79. Have any of you guys that are dissing this car ever had to buy a WUR core? Or tranny parts? Or a serviceable CV? How about a relay panel or a headlight relay? Or a rear muffler? Or a fuel tank cradle? Or a couple of hard fuel lines from under the car because someone put a jack under your's? Have any of you tried to complete a correct early tool kit? Or needed the correct filter/accumulator fittings/brackets because yours got hacked? Or tried to find a steel spare? Or the correct hirshmann? This is assuming all the typical stuff is long gone like the owners books, spare cover,steel jack, or compressor..and sometimes they're not.

mr914

I hate it when your guys make a valid point...haha I hate red cars !!

Buellton? You could still go and get a cup of split pea soup even if you don't buy the car!

VanD

Right on the money Andrew. Parts are not getting easier to find or any cheaper. Over past 6 months or so things have really gotten tight on 78-79 cars and parts. And fewer even are getting parted. Room and time are all that I need more of (and a healthy back!).

If folks here agree with me, does that mean I'm not nuts?

karl ruiter

Hey, I think it may be Kermit colored under the red. At least the passenger door.

karl ruiter

Look under the console where there is a hole in the carpet. Might be Kermit colored chassis too.

mr914

meaning green color ? But would the interior match green ? Most of the green cars I have seen had green interior also.

I like it....#30 was in worse shape, and I got her running in just a few months....she's a long way from done, but well worth the effort. I paid $650 . This would be a great catch at 1/2 the price...if I was still living in LA, I might jump on it, for parts if anything else...

Pea soup? Is that car near Split Pea Andersons? Loved that place as a kid...we used to camp next door to it...
