Um, so now I have a lead on one as well. Black, no sunroof coupe. 120k miles. Ugly fiberglass rear bumper and big ole' hunkin whale tail back there. Haven't had it up in the air, but I'm told it's a 'rust free' car. I know that's total BS, as none of these early cars are rust free, but a cursory inspection looks good. Trustworthy owner.
Seats are non original. Engine is original (yellow!) but was converted to Carbs from MFI. Runs. Transmission unknown quality at this time.

My idea would be a sympathetic restoration. Pull the engine, rebuild, sell the carbs, reinstall the MFI, get a stock bumper and engine hood, maybe upgrade the seats, brakes all the normal stuff. Paint is a 5 out of 10. Definitely resprayed. I'd want a driver, not a show winner.

If I can get this car for $25K, what do you think? I'm thinking it'll cost me another $10-$15k and a year to upfixn', so at $40g's for a hot driver, am I still in the game?

I'm all ears TW.

Thanks

Nick
