The seats are worth at least $600. The hood is worth $500. You got the rest of the car for $700. Not a bad deal at all my friend. Not bad at all. You done good!!!

Re: a winner >? (kingdavidrules)
Pretty cool.
Might be easier to part the car out for some quick cash. Seats are easily $600, Power windows etc. put on ebay for $300-$400. Interior pieces will sell on ebay. T tops will sell on ebay. Full set of aluminum wheels ~ $500.
Or take a year or so and clean it up nice, paint it and sell it for $9000.
Good Luck. Hope you find out it's a silver anniversary model
