If the car is straight with no rust issues, it it worth more than the asking price.
My problem, after driving probably 20 of the things, is that, while cool, they have certain performance drawbacks.
I owned one for three years in the mid to late 70's and loved the thing, but that was a different era.
What I plan on doing is making a modern 2002 (5 speed, upgraded engine, a/c, etc.) out of, if necessary, a few 2002s that need saving. The most enjoyable test drive I had during the last year of searching was an extended drive with a guy in Virginia who had done just that very thing...I would have bought it but the paint job was a hideous amalgamation of garish, metal flaked paint of multiple hues and random racing stripes applied to camouflage good taste.
Two months ago I would have bought the car Todd is posting with a visual inspection for rust, no mechanical PPI..the price is that reasonable.
