A pretty special car. Hopefully this one gets saved. At the right price it can happen. I don't think $26.5 is going to do it.

$12,800 in 1974 is $85,000 today

Structural rust? Hard to believe that original sales price.

That is what they sold for in 74 especially fully loaded although the price would have been even higher if it had the auto transmission! Price is optimistic with the pervasive rust on the underbody. It would be foolish to spend that much money only to see it rust away as evidenced already by a unibody rail that has had repair done to it as well as a muffler that has likely had all the packing disappear and is reinforced by the mechanic's version of bailing wire: muffler tape.

What unibody rails?Unsafe to drive. And, as with all rust in automobiles, that’s just what you see. Fairly ambitious asking price.
