1981 SC Price Quote
HI Guys:
Can you give me an average price quote on the following 1981 SC.? I have no pics of the car since the seller doesn't have any, but I’ll try to describe the car as best as possible.
Body: Some rust and bubbling around the corners. Major bondo cracking around the passenger rear flair. Paint peal on roof. Rear bumper pads cracked. Some rust/rot around rubber on the rocker panels. Under body looks ok.
Engine: At start up some minor smoke but clears up within a few secs. Idles fine. NO AC, not good for the south..:-(
Interior: Cloth seats. Other wise ok for the year.
Misc: Turbo Wing. Seller says 125,000 Miles on car.
Color: Dark Blue in/out.
The seller wants $8000.00 obo. I think this is really high for the condition of the car. What do you guys think???
Thank You: Fantor

Price ranges for an SC are anywhere from 3K for a wrecked/parts car to 20K+ for a perfect example. The prices are determined by three things: Condition, condition and condition. Mileage is not even as important as condition, since a documented, well-cared for car with 150K is probably worth more than a 90K unloved car. From your description, this car's condition is not good.
At 8K, you will most likely end up putting more $$$ into this car than it is worth. There are SC's that a just a few thousands more with good paintwork, maintenance history and no stories.
