Every inch of that one in Texas looks beat! That whole interior would need to be replaced if you wanted to make it presentable.

I don't necessarily agree. Yes, the paint is bad and cosmetically it looks pretty bad, BUT I bet overall it is in much better condition than most of the cars in your area. You will note that it appears to have been a Southwestern car for at least 14 years (mid to southern New Mexico and southwest Texas--all warm and dry). It should essentially be rust free. I would much rather start with this car to fix up than one from the north or northeast.

The ebay texas one is about right for the price. The white car without the black trunk I believe is a member here, and has been advertised here on the forum. The red California car looks like it is in FANTASTIC shape.

But the Texas car says $1000 buy it now. it isn't clear how much damage the paint has sustained... is it polishable? or has the clearcoat completely failed and needs a re-spray?

I bought a california car with a major repair history for that price, the paint is shagged, and the driver's seat is shredded, and a few details were out of place here or there... but it is a solid runner, and pretty much rust free. (I am sure it is enjoying it's first nasty salt-ridden winter here in Iowa this year...)

If that texas car is rust-free, and hasn't been hit and repaired... and someone had a windshield to put in it... it would make a great resto candidate.

if I had any money, I might look into it... Silver would make a fantastic under-coat for a nice deep, World Rally Blue Pearl paint job, with it's black roof. But I'd have a moment's hesitation, as silver cars are a bit rare themselves.

If anyone wants the red one in Santa Rosa checked out, pm me... it's local to me.
