Its not a euro, its a miss matched car.....seats are from a pre 1979 car.....euro bumper and antenna, so maybe? But no cloth door cards or were replace? Palomino carpets.....

If there is documents for the engine rebuild may be worth it, but if it was done in someone's garage.....not a deal....

I will take the seat skins

Looks like no AC - no temp thumbwheel above the AC controls - so could be a Euro.

Where's the hazard switch?

I'd be tempted if it weren't on the wrong side of the country. These days pretty much anything that isn't wrecked or rusted and moves under its own power is worth $800. But I'd still try to talk them down to $600.

Hope you know the rust areas.

I gave $600 for the one I bought (in Raleigh) just to take the manual trans and shifter for the S-10. Ran well, semi-decent interior, not much rust except in the rear jack pockets (common) but for sure fixable. I got the trans and a friend got the engine but I couldn't get anyone to give anything for the body. It went to PnP for $200.
