I'm am definitely not an expert, but will mention a few things I see...Is the front hood open in the first picture? Even if it is open, it still looks crooked (higher on the driver side). Also, I'm not sure about the stance of the car. Looks like it's sitting pretty low in the back. Engine looks clean, but obviously needs new spark plug wires. I assume it will prob. need other general maintenance.
I like the color combo!
Good luck with everything!

I think it looks pretty clean - as for the spark plug wires... I would put too much worry into the rubber covers. the wires still could be fine....
the back looks wicked wrong but maybe he is parked 1/2 on the grass? and the hood could just be an angle of the pic...I bet its ok when shut...open and off center a tiny bit can look huge...
The carpet seems to have some spots near the drivers side enterance and floor. I wouldnt worry a great deal about it... pics of the underside and the rear torsion bar tube would be good. Also trunk open shots.... the price is reasonable and it's a coupe

Former Vendor
You'd be surprised what people may give to you, ie number of the PO.
I've had this a few times and the previous owner was mroe than happy to be honest, and tell about his former car. Give it a shot -

Yep - I did purchase this car and have been talking to the previous owner (pcar mechanic). I now have a great deal of knowledge about previous work done.

Hey Greg -
I did drive it back on Sunday - happy to have it in the garage! I just changed the oil today, fixed a brake light issue (new brake light switch at master cylinder) and have ordered various bits from Pelican to 'make it mine'! (new wiper blades, floor mats, air filter, etc...)
I was looking at cars all over the states and this one popped up 2 hours away. Great price and great condition.
Where are you in Atlanta?
