Is this car representative of '78 SC prices?

[Jagshund]

Up the road from me. Looks like it's in good shape. Seems underpriced to me. If one of you wants to buy it you're more than welcome to call. I'm not in the market.

Probably needs the required $8,000+ to make it right.
They are all $20,000 cars after all....

[yelcab1]

Under priced? hell no. He is lucky to get $12K for that.

[Jagshund]

But . . . IT'S RED!!!

Why am I seeing a rash of SCs with turbo tails on them?

[Joe Bob]

Because it was an option when purchased....

[James Brown]

not bad for the price, too bad about the spoiler but that comes off easy. For a DD it's hard to beat, put gas and oil in it and run it forever or a good donor for that 3.2SS MFI slide valve screamer sleeper. Painted dark gray of course and about 500 lbs lighter.

Here in Toronto, Canada that would cost you anywhere from 20 to $25 000!!

maybe he has to sell it to buy a lawnmower!!

Not mine and no affiliation but I did see it on craigslist a few days back.

Seems legit, and it is red. Sounds like it got some real TLC - last pic says it all tho'. ;-)
