It's been sitting on Craigslist for a long time now. I'd probably only offer $500, fix it up so it runs and then make my car a project car.

Let me know what you think and if it is even worth it. Thanks!

So I bought it today for $450, WHAT A STEAL! the guy had the title from previous owner, but never registered the car so it wasn't in his name so he just said he didnt have it. I do have the title now.
Also, I figured out the problem with the tranny when I was taking the wheels off today. Something in there is stripped, I'm thinking the spindles because the wheels move semi freely when lifted off the ground. So I'm thinking that's where the "grinding" noise is coming from because it won't catch the axles. Problem solved I believe.
Once I get all the parts I need out of it, it will be going up on here as a parts car. I'm going to try and get it down to the shell if I can.
After I save some money, I'll just go to Maaco or see if Manny would be able to do it because I've seen his work and it looks amazing!

Day 1 of the strip down, started unbolting most of the front end panels and what not. I'll get pics up tonight.

I'm just going to throw out the interior parts that are painted cause they are horrible, unless anyone wants them veryyyy cheap?
