He said it runs/drives...but needs some TLC.

FIRST, what is pros/cons of EM mold?

SECOND, thoughts on the 77 datsun underbody?

LAST, what do you think this vehicle is worth?

Thanks guys!

besides i personally think it will end up being a cluster F**k

pros----it will get good gas mileage
no one else will have one
cheap to maintain once its sorted out
no one will steal it once they have it started

cons----you will be stuck with it for your entire life
it will always be a rebodied datsun
performance of a polished turd
you will always be the subject of ridicule where ever you take it
even a 1974 impala will be a upgrade
it is probably titled as a datsun

it will be worth what ever you can get for a used EM body at the time
the rest will price at per pound.......

advise........let the current owner keep it
