Not to be Debbie Downer here, but a close look at the car, and that 27K purchase is going to be some real headaches for the new owner. Bolt on wheels aside, there is enough rust (surface and otherwise) in and out to suggest a tough life, rear end that has been ridden hard, really hard, an engine that has not been rebuilt in the last ten years, and most certainly puts out less than half what the seller purports. Besides the nice body, I see everything having to be torn down and gone through, transmission, engine, cooling system, wiring and especially the rear end. If you can do it all yourself, under $10,000, if not, more than double that
