It doesn't look that weathered. I'm sure the top was left off and the interior took a little more heat than cleaner examples, but the car is probably ok (it would have to be looked at closely to be sure). 50/50 chance it needs all the typical upkeep like injectors and clutch hydraulic replacements...or maybe it has a stack of receipts to prove it's on the up-and-up.
These things part out for $9k so you will not get that kind of giveaway deal unless you have to drag the car home on a flatbed not running.

I might go out to see it. I've got some cars I need to get rid of first before I can take anything home... my driveway and carport is starting to look like the land of misfit chevrolets, according to my girlfriend, friends, and family
Even if it is black. I swore I'd never own another black car. (too hard to keep clean) Here we go again?

Safety Car
It's more the damage to the rear end that's been repaired at some point that has me worried. I'm pretty sure looking at it on my high res monitor, that it's taken a shot in the back. Too many things replaced/missing in the license plate area, terrible orangepeel that isn't evident on the rest of the car (or at least as evident). Also...someone clear coated over that god awful bumper sticker. WTF?

Steel Blue Metallic 90-91 is as close as you can get, You just missed a great deal on a 90 a few weeks back.

This car is only 1.5 hrs from me if you get serious. I'm not certain the car is as bad as you may think!
The tag filler is in the rear hatch area of the car.
Both front and rear bumper covers had orange peel from the factory as did the rest of the body. One that had no peel would be more of a concern for me as it would most likely be a repaint.
Not that's a bad thing but was it done right.
The advertising sticker on the rear of the car is not Clearcoated over, it's a glare.
Let me be clear I am in no way afilliated with this car and have no vested interest.

I think that the bumper has been painted but so what. Pair work doesn't mean accident. But without seeing it in person to look In The rear areas and see if it was damage or just some hack paint job.
The emblem also needs to be replaced.
The license plate filler is in the back of the car check the photos.
Screws on seats with corrosion that's easy if they lived near the ocean or high humidity areas. You will have corrosion in crazy places like that.
