I don't know the car Sean, but I think I've seen it on Ebay in the past :confused:

Not everybody appreciates the Green on Green like I do. Would be nice to see some pics of the undercarriage. One prospect asked for all the casting numbers and dates which I would say is a must before going to look at it. The seller comes across as not too knowledgeable in certain areas considering he's owned the car for a lot of years. A few incorrect items under the hood which are really no big deal.

Good luck.

Well, when I see the exhaust manifolds have been changed, I think the possibility is pretty strong it had headers at one time. Which normally means it was hot-rodded. He says in his ad it's a "no console" car, but it has one. Wonder it he added it? If the car was bought for 50, a good paint job would put it close to 60.
Don, as you know, it takes 10 minuets to move the alternator and shoot the numbers. It just amazes me that someone trying to sell a car like this won't do that. Same thing with the alternator. If a person has to buy an 837, figure a grand. Smog set-up about 2 grand. I can see where it could be close to 65 to get it correct.

Looks just like my first car.
