The seller was just way too paranoid about why I was in his shop. Kept calling me mate. 
He wanted to know where I lived, where I saw the add, why I didn't call, why was I interested in this one and not the other SC's he had. He was quite upset that I was asking questions and wanted me to overlook the timing chains, lack of paint, spray painted and dyed interior, missing weather stripping around the top, rust on the windshield wipers, corroded oil cooler, and focus on the fact that it had 7's and 8's.

Amber Lamps, did you check your mirrors when you left to make sure you were not being followed? I thought there looked to be some off coloring of the interior. In one of the photos the door edge appears more red than brown.
Oh, the price is now up to $8750. Looks like the visit by Amber Lamps increased the value.
10-4.

Wow. Run Forest run. Just left the dealership. Phil has got 5 Porsches in his showroom. He said the '80 is priced at $7,650. When I asked him what was wrong with it he said it was the timing chain. I asked left or right. He said he didn't know there was two. Again, Run Forest run.
EDIT: Just adding the picture of the store front.

All of the above
