Just my opinion but I would get it in good shape mechanically and drive it till it dropped.In my eyes it's not worth spending the money to fix the body.
I would not pay 2 k for that not even 1k, that rust is bad & the rockers might be compromised, you need those to be good, wheel wells not so much, are you sure those frame rails are not damaged? That is a rough car ,Lawrence
I really didn't want to, but for some reason unknown to me, him, and hated by my fiancee, I am absolutely in love with this car. I know for sure that there is nothing major wrong with it that would prevent it from being safely driven. I would take it to a friend's place and throw it on a lift and do more of an inspection than I can on a floor jack, but it is currently not insured. It has registration, but no insurance and it'd be about a 20 mile drive one way on I-75. And if there was something major wrong, I think we would've noticed it when we had it doing about 70 or 80 on I-75 from Bradenton to Palmetto; that's a very short highway trip, but I didn't want to deal with in town traffic.
