I turned my head to avoid vomiting on my keyboard, so I suppose its fairly accurate.

Bet it goes for almost if not over $4,000. If I had the room and time I would give it a go -- but not for more than $2,000 and a clear title.

How would you justify giving more than 500 bucks for that POS. It has rust damage in a hard to fix area, the right front fender is crap, there are very few usable parts and it is too ugly to be a track ***** (would never pass tech). Head may or may not be good, no oil cooler, ignition lock no good, seats dont work, sun roof doesnt work (and I bet it is rusted too), CC no workie, AC no workie. There isnt even much in the way of saleable parts. Maybe the block but you would have to sell it condition unknown. Even when you got the head on you couldnt start it because the ignition lock is broken :>)

I would offer him 500 bucks to haul that ugly POS to a grave. :>)

Crush it, crush it, crush it, crush it, crush it... Everybody Now - Crush it, crush it, crush it, crush it....
This is exactly why we have the death penalty in Texas!

Rich, I dont see 4K in parts on that one. Maybe if you stripped every bit of it off, maybe! You dont know the condition of the head or engine. The body is in awful shape, etc, etc. Maybe, I guess anything it possible but I bet the inside is no better.
