Well, I looked at the car this weekend. It was beautiful. It drove like a dream, shifted well, some spark knock, decent get-up, but not a fast car by any stretch.
The interior was totally mint. Even the clock in the gauge cluster and the clock on the AM/FM cassette player worked well. The gray paint on the hood was totally oxidized, the rear spoiler's paint was pretty weak, the original mufflers had small rust holes in them, and the engine needed a detail. But those are all minor things.
He wouldn't budge off of his price, so I passed.
He also had a 79 10th anniversary 400 4-speed with only 6700 original miles sitting next to it. A previous owner had it painted with a show-quality BLACK paint job, and I thought it looked simply awesome! I don't normally go for that much of a departure from original, but this car was awesome! Had the documentation, all the right interior, graphics, wheels etc. It was legit, just not the crappy silver.
Oh well. Some things just not meant to be..........for now.
