I went and looked at one over the weekend.
It is a M. Green and Black interior car, factory a/c, manual window, single exhaust car, with skirts.
Block was red? Motor sounds very tight doesn't smoke, but was running fat at an idle.
Anyway, the paint is dead, but the body is very very straight. All the chrome was on the car and in decent shape. One rust spot on the driver side low in front of the rear wheel opening, and bondo on the passenger front fender right before door and into the door, about a 3 to 4 inch section.
Glass was in great shape.
Interior is okay, dash as cracked, door panels were starting to go, back seat was nice except small tear in top center, headliner is half gone, front seats are starting to split and the center console box covering is shot.
Now for my question. Looks like I can get this bird for 3k, and am considering it for my son's car. I imagine it will only get at best 16MPG, but doubt it will ever be more than 12MPG.
It's this route or go with a 90s model honda or something for him, or let him drive my 97 Suburban.
I figure fixing the A/C would run at least 500 to 1,000, the interior other than the headling, he can live with, paint..be fine for his first car, has new tires on it.
thoughts?
Thanks
