On the BGT ending on Ebay for 2500.
I visited and drove the car on Friday since it was located just south of
Pittsburgh.
Basically the description was very honest. The body was solid and not putty,
floorboards looked good etc. The engine was strong with transmission, clutch
and brakes feeling good. The rear suspension needed some work and the front
felt good with nice tight steering control. The doors do not have the crack
of doom.
That is the good news. The bad is that the car was photographed in the rain
with snow on the ground and this made the paint look shiny. The paint is
terrible and needs a complete paint job. With very few small dents and dings
and no rust. All of the rubber around the windows etc is dried out and need
replaced. The really bad news is that the interior does not exist. The seats
need redone or completely replaced, no carpet at all, headliner is bad, rear
needs redone, dash needs redone and inside of door skins are gone.
The mechanicals were good with a solid body, but it needs painted and a
complete interior. The amount needed to fix this car will make the price way
over what it is worth. Maybe at 1200 or so, but not 2500.
Buyer beware!
