Am I dreaming?

If it is still in the car, try a tune up, you may be surprised. 80K dont sound like much,but it may be 180 K right? start with a compression check, see if it is worth tuning.

Its out and it was my grandmothers car that my dad drove off the lot for her.

Dad said it was 78000$ before he had his stroke.

I have a 360 and things that are almost ready to drop in so i think ill just do that and maybe keep the slant for a bit or sell it.

You are right though a few things done to the slant may make it more drivanle.
