Has potential. Need more pics before deciding on a price. I would also need to check out the condition of the engine and the carb. A Holley 350? Doesn't sound right.

Post pics when you get it. 1k is a bit high for one not running, but if it's mostly rust free, the engine's good, the aftermarket parts wiil make up for some of the extra cost.

Price varies due to many factors. Keep in mind that bin and rear wheel well rust is a big killer on the 1st gens. Mint, well kept ones can bring 3k+, I've bought them as chaply as 50 bucks and driven them home, with the rear end banging on the body because the upper control arm mounts were rusted off of the body.

You know I hate it when someone is selling a car, and they put pics out there of the car 10 to 20 years ago when the car was in its prime. HELL, I'm not ashamed of my old girl. Even though she needs paint right now. Keep checking the for sale section here, you may find something better, or cheaper here. Good luck. Once you go first gen, you never recover. I mean, go back. HEHEHEHE.
