Thinking about bidding on this car. Anyone know it?
Hi guys,
I was hoping someone might have some input on this auction. The car is local to me. It appears to be in much better shape than the 1980 basket case I currently have. I'm thinking of buying this one, and parting the other one.
What do you all think a fair price for this 1979 is?

I was eyeballin' that one too, as it's in my state - but alas too far to drive over and gawk at.
I'd be worried about electrical system and vaccuum-system dry-rot. The seller states the tires are dry-rotted, so you know it sat for a long time.
The "fresh" metallic grey paint is a huge unknown. We cannot tell from pictures if it's Methhead Bob's EZ-spray or a well-executed work of art.
On the plus side:
no rub strips
supposedly runs great
5-spd, supposedly shifts good
nice phone dials (in the pics anyways...)
restorable interior
5 hours left and Reserve Not Met @ $2125...

It's always fishy fishy fishy when someone states they just bought it and it's got more problems than they know how to fix. Nice seats tho.
