    We can tell from the VIN (1N35U4C130047) the following:

    2-seat
    400 cubic-inch V-8, 180 hp, 4-bbl carb


    Yes, would like to see photos.

    Just an FYI. One of our (former (Alphues)?) members had a really hard time dealing with these guys on an ebay purchase a few years ago. They seemed to be pretty shady.

    Well, at least it's too expensive for ending up a parts car or scrap.

    You'd think they would be anxious to post pics, given the ambitious asking price.

    He might end up having to, if some total sucker doesn't happen by first and buy it blind.

    Pics finally. Looks good but nowhere near the asking price. Needs paint. The interior is nice other than the cracked dash. Has AC, PW, PDL and AM/FM with tilt. Can't tell much else.

    There's a dent in the tailgate, too.

    Is that the spare tire sticking out from a rusted tire well?

    I have no doubt this car DOES have potential if restored but right now, it looks like it sat in Arizona for 36 years. Right now the finish is dull as can be and it looks as if they didn't even wash it let alone get into compounding and waxing. The tires look somewhat fresh though.

    Good CE in a rarely seen year, but needs a lot of attention. Worth nowhere near what seller wants.
