1976 Niney-Eight four-door hardtop

Pretty good looking car for the money, I think. Someone could have some fun with this. The car is in Florida but the license plate says Washington state. Hmmm.

Last year for the big girls. If you didn't mind the not so great mileage, this would be a great daily driver.

But you also have to consider what you pay for it. To get something as possibly nice as this in a late model car might cost $8000 to $10,000. The difference between that and $2000 buys a LOT of gas.

Another thing going for it is that it appears that the plastic pieces between the rear fenders and the bumper, which we so often see deteriorated or outright gone on these cars, appear to be intact.

I wish he would have stood a little closer to the car when he took the photo, but you take what you can get.

Zooming in a bit helps, and there do appear to be gaps between the plastic pieces and the taillights.





Here's the best that can be done as far as zooming in from the side. He really never stands very close to the car for his exterior shots.

For the price, it may be a good daily/weekend driver... Wonder what the hitch was used for...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...to tow something.

Given that it's a 98, it was probably a travel trailer or boat and not a tool trailer or some kind of work equipment like a lawn tractor.

Judging by the class of hitch, I'd agree. Too light duty for anything else. Not much strain on the driveline or brakes if that's the case.
