what do you guys think im picking it up on sunday. its been hit in the front but not that hard im gonna try to pull it back into shape. the floors are a little rusty but the car looks to be solid ill add more pics on sunday night
the motor does turn over by hand so thats a good thing
and for the price im paying I really cant turn it down. its been sitting since about 77 or so.
