Want to offer a fair price for a 75 TR6.  Would like this lists 
response on what a fair offer would be.

Results of my inspection.

Body.

Hood, trunk lid, right front fender, top, in good condition.
Left front fender has a good bit of rust near the bottom.
Left rear quarter panel has a bad (all I can think of to call it is a 
rip) just past the door, don't think it can be repaired.
Both quarter panels have rust where they meet the trunk lid.
Front and back of the car look good, a little rust on the ledge just 
below the front grill.  Doors are ok and open and close ok. All glass 
is there. Entire car will have to be repainted 
Under the floor carpets is a good bit of rust, and feels soft to the 
push.  Probably rusted through.

 Interior

Dash needs to come off and be sanded and refinished, but ok.  All 
guages are present and look ok
Seats and carpets need replacing.

Engine/Drive Train. (the bad part)

Engine is seized, head is off and mechanic tells me I'm looking at 
800.00 - 1,500.00 worth of work depending on what he finds when he 
gets into the lower end.

License Plate has a 93 sticker on it, so car has not been on the 
street for 6 years.

Condition of drive train is unknown, no way to check.

Other.

Rims are standard
Tires are shot
Car is sitting outside for the past couple of years that I know of. 

What's she worth, your best estimate.

tks.
