83 hatch. new rebuilt motor and new e7's he has paper work from ford to prove it. new alt and everything seen in pics. runs and drives fine. just needs some serious cosmetics.

he told me to make him an offer. and while i was stopped another guy stopped by and asked about it but i kinda tricked him into thinking it was sold so i aint got much time before someone picks it up.

You are gonna be putting a lot of money into if you do get it, ya its got a new engine but it needs an entire interior and a lot of body work, so if your willing to do that then go for it

Me personaly would offer 1k. But I like to start low i guess. You cant even drive it home. Like said above it needs a ton of work.

Not a penny over 1k. It's a shell with a drivetrain.

It's a shell with a so so drivetrain. Sure it is rebuilt, but the parts on there will most likely be replaced with aftermarket stuff anyway. I too wouldn't go much over $1500 and offer him $1000.

I agree with the others, a grand is good offer and notch more than that. It's a nice looking t-top project but your buying the shell with a motor rebuilt or not.

It would make a good hardcore race car, but if you want to make it nice you better have a donor car at hand.

wow, long way to go if you wanna make it a street car someday

Start at $750 and if it runs and drives REALLY good, maybe touch $1000. If you have to go to $1000.01, run away.

I'd love to see you save it, though.

What are your plans? If you want a drag car, do it. My car will look like that soon. I had a VERY good condition black interior too.
