The car looks to be an 86 with the CHMSL and the old style valve covers.

Guy doesn't even know the car he is trying to sell.

We should see the newbie post in a few weeks - "I bought this fixer-upper C-3 on e-bay - only paid $8K - what do you think - did I pay too much?"

Plus its got the 3rd brake light which did not come on the 85, first year for that was the 86.

Way too much weirdness going on...

That car is worth more to part out. It would cost way to much to fix. Guy

The poor thing needs to be buried,with those responsible in it. BTW It isn't an 85 unless someone added the third brake light,don't care what the listed VIN says.

Looks like a good project car if you could get it for no more than 2K. Like rip it apart and make it a race car! (like a hardcore auto x racer!)

on the other hand, it's only bid to $600. if you're within driving distance, and could pick this up for less than a grand, would be a good parts car. this one is definitly worth more dead than alive!

Hey!! It just needs some new... uh..... stuff.
