Overall nice ride. A co-worker circa 1996 had one of the same only in green. If the sale article has the reported mileage, one can expect it to leak every fluid it has within 10 miles of being brought back into active service. I'd value it at $5,000 tops.

Edit: At the time, I was running a 150k mile+ '76 Buick Century for which I'd paid the princely sum of $570. It lasted the summer, after which I had my dad sell it for me for $250. We got a call from the cops after the buyer apparently abandoned it after the motor blew not long after on the highway. I have personal experience of low mile vehicles being brought back into service. The best example was a 70 or so original mile HMMWV from 1985 being brought out in 2002. It looked great, but leaked every fluid it had, since all the rubber was done.
