Sounds in the ballpark. I sold an '81 auto. about 18 mo. ago for $7500 that had 15 foot paint, but was very clean in and out, and mechanically was great. A 4-speed is a plus, but a lot depends on whether the paint is at least presentable, and can be a driver, or is really ragged looking. This is also assuming that the frame is solid.

Yea,it is a pretty solid car.Last year I wanted to restore it for pop but he wouldnt have any part of it so it sits and rots.2 years ago the city was going to tow it out to the junk yard,no reg.I guess I should have stated I live in Fremont Ca.

My dad bought this car in 86 and its sat in the same spot more or less for most of the time.Im in Ca so I would say the frame is in good shape.The black stuff is crap off the lemon tree.The driver door has had some paint work in the past,its flaking pretty bad.
