88 XR7 in Tulsa, OK area

Not mine, just went and looked at it.....

He definitely posted photos of its' best sides.  Drivers door/quarter have a healthy dent in them, hail damage all over, sun fade of paint and interior.  I wasn't looking for a project, so didn't bother listening to it run(didn't even tell/call them to say I was coming to look, it's parked by the road....:shrug:.....)  Supposed to "run great", and he's "put more money in parts in it than he should have".

Depending on mileage, I'd say that a $1k car tops, without factoring in dents. I'd offer him $800 if I had the money and see what he said.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

150k on the mileage. 

The paint/interior fade wouldn't have bothered me if the body hadn't been beat to hell and back.  I can shoot paint, and interior could be re-upholstered......I do not, however, like body-shop jail for metal repair/replacement.  Got stuck in that with the '68, so......no thanks!

Agree on the prior comments......but I was thinking starting at $500......if I was interested anymore!  LOL
