What would you do to it if you were making it a daily driver?

I could see $6k for it. Notice how they don't list the mileage though - only 100 miles in the last 15 years.

For that money I buy something newer with fuel injection for a daily driver.

Says in the ad it has 50K miles. I don't know, $7.995 doesn't seem ALL that bad for a car in that condition with that mileage to me. That's providing it really is in as good a condition as it appears in the photos.

That said, I kind of agree with you Duke. For a DD, spend $8K on a newer car with EFI and things. I'd hate to use a car like this one for a daily driver. It'd be a shame to even have it get rained on to be honest. Maybe more of a weekend "pleasure" car?

You missed the part of the ad that said, "only 50k from new"

It's a bit high but not unrealistic for the condition and mileage.
If you're after a daily driver you're better off buying one with more miles for half the price.

My reading comprehension seems to be off of late. Better not sign anything important.

Doesn't change my original assessment though. I can't see anything more than $6. These aren't collector cars by any stretch of imagination.

Nice car, a bit overpriced looks straight and honest. Notice the dash bezel trim around the gages is loose, and the underside of the deck lid is a wet...
