With any investment I would travel to see the car. very little rust to him might be a lot of rust to you. Paint will also be a issue down the line. I would wait for the right SC but if you like the older stuff go see it, a 300.00 airline ticket and you wont loose any sleep after the fact.

-respray from apparent original silver
-"smile" is not flush with bumper; probably rusted
-Tail added on, car rebadged as Carrera. Decoding of VIN confirms it is an S.
-"Very factory" flares mean they are the exact opposite
-JUST ASK ME about "very little rust" at the leading edge of trunk under weathe stripping. Gawd...tip of iceberg people
-Is that the right coil? Looks funny to me
-Potential problems from OLD A/C lines
-What kinda tires?? They gotta go
-Untidy boot/stray wires - trying to figure out what some monkey did to rewire something 15 years ago is a total PITA
-Owner sounds genuine; is not a salesman
-Engine sounds tasty; receipts would be a must
-Still got old-style exhaust valve covers
-Glad to hear about new a/c parts but until a/c is working it will be priced as non-a/c car

This car will probably fall between Bruce Anderson's low of 7.7 and high of 11.5k...adjust this down (according to his guidelines) of 10-20% for non-original factors such as flares/tail/badging and bad/changed color paint. Maybe adjust it back up for documentation of fresh engine with studs and tensioners.

All told I'll keep my '72 basket case.

Heh heh...I would have filed down some of the sharp edges on that post...but I didn't know you were one of the "family"!!

I think it'll stay below 10k b/c of the ease of acquiring cheap SC's. Pretty nice car, though, all around, just the usual trouble spots from 26 year old car.

And of course I have to keep my car; I'll never get my money out. Cheers! Good luck.
