Needs floors, a little trunk work, windshield frame replaced. Could use a coat of paint too but what 35 year old street driven car doesn't??
And I feel I got one hell of a deal on mine.
IF YOU think it is worth it...then it is worth it. If you have questions, then maybe it is not in your ballpark or what you are comfortable spending or needing that much work.
Old cars are tricky.... but no matter what it will cost you $$$$ no matter what you pay for the shell, and you will probably NEVER get your return on it.

It isn't a shell. It is all there, just someone burnt a piston. Engine is savable for a rebuild. I looked at the car and the guy wasn't currently working....now he is and has not called me. It is just sitting out in the elements. The paint isn't really too bad but one quarter has some small rust spots. The paint looks original and is orange?
