Need Some Advise

I'd say offer less than $5K, but don't walk away..... these cars are not getting any cheaper or easier to find. It's a factory V-8, 4 Spd, w/ AC. What more do you want? So what if it's not an S. Plus it seems like a solid car to begin with. Like others have mentioned, crawl under it and check for current or past rust issues, make sure it's a clear, transferable title, and wave money at the guy. Be prepared to drag it home.

And if it does have the 7 1/4 rear, so what.... That's why we have more wrenches and than socks. 8)
