I'm in SLC but know nothing about this car other than what I saw in the pictures. This car looks like a disaster about if hasnt already happened. I am not sure if the car is worth the starting bid of $500.00. Even if your budget is really low you can do better than this.

Looks to be in the same shape as my '77, aka "soon to be a tranny donor". Ok for a cheap beater to use until the rust gets to an unsafe level, then part out. I'd say $500 is a fair price. Any more and I'd walk.

BIN for $1700??? Give me a break.

Anything over $500 is too much. That is a rust bucket. That is only the "visible rust". It is probably everywhere.

It does have the First Aid Kit in the passengers footwell...

"My plan was to turn it into a WVO conversion but I never got around to it"... Gee... I've never heard that one before... I'm surprised the ad does not say 40MPG.

Run. There should be plenty of non-rusty examples to choose from in your area of the country.
