I have no idea why the bidding is so high. I wouldn't give 30k for it in perfect shape with the replacement block in it. Looks like a 12k car to me. JMHO

There is a cover over it. That alone is a red flag for me.

NOM, Been sitting for GOD knows how long, I don't believe the mileage.

No more than 15-18 for the car AFTER they pay for a complete detailing of the car and they freshen all the fluids and have it inspected.

Owned for 16 years......been sitting in the same spot for 13 years. :skep:

So it took the owner 3 years to drive the car into the ground and lost interest. Now it needs *EVERYTHING* :eek:

The fenders look like they have been radiused to handle bigger tires, this will be expensive to bring back to stock.

very good point, I hadn't noticed the fenders either.
I'd pay $12k for it - AFTER they cleaned it up.
