AC not working. I did not see any oil wells under the car in the garage, but I am sure it will need valve cover gaskets. Few rust spots and the rubber is dying on the weather-stripping. It drives fair, the rack and pinion felt excessively heavy though. It could definitely need valves adjusted and a major tune up. I checked the VIN in the national VIN archives, it not stolen and it has a clear title. I think I better get a book quick to review potential candidates. Thanks again for all your help.

Based on your findings, other than it being an 80,000 mile car, it's not one to get excited about. Sounds like $12K tops and only if you want a 12K project car. For the money you will put in it to bring it up to top cosmetic condition, you may very well find a much nicer car to spend the total sum.
For reference, I have a 9 cosmetically with 240K miles, a G50 car with lots of recent work including a new clutch and I'd take 12K. A friend of mine bought an earlier 915 Carrera with high miles for 6K 6 months ago. Another friend bought an SC with 88k on the clock a year ago for 6K and it's at least equal in condition to the one you describe, but more stock.
