Tempted to look at this car, even though I am broke.

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.

The wheels are ugly :hick:

Pretty well optioned car. It's not an 'Elan but a well optioned base model.

I really, relly like the center console now. Before I did my t-5 I'd never had one and didn't miss it. Now with my cougar even without a floor shift I'd miss it. Its almost a maditory option for me now. Not that it's hard to add.

Is $4500 a fair price for these cars in that kind of shape now?

Ever since that 79 pace car went for $29k prices seem to have been going up.

In my opinion though, no. Its too high.

No. That's about $1500 too high. That car just doesn't pop. It that was a TC, it's say sure, it's probably reasonable, but not for what it is.

Depends on what part of the country you're in.  Over here that's about right. 

Saw an 84 Dodge Diplomat with the 318 and about 80k on it for 5k about a month ago.  This bird is cleaner that that car was.
