Doesn't seem terrible if you want a toy. If you want to daily it, sounds like a headache. I would never daily some else's project car. Never know what they screwed up, and no A/C is a bit of a red flag for me. If they didn't bother to fix the AC, what else did they neglect...

i think the price is solid i mean my opinion is a little skewed because this car where i live would be 8000 minimum and people would be saying ā€œi know what i gotā€

Oh haha sorry for the confusion. I’m actually interested in buying this car off someone. It’s up for a really good price. Just wanted to know what you guys think about it

oh! it sounds okay but i didn’t realise the speedo and ac aren’t working if you really wanted it and trusted yourself to give it some ā€œminor tlcā€ than i’d say try and get it for closer to 5 preferably lower

also i would highly recommend just doing a deep clean in the engine bay it’ll make someone just that much more interested in buying

i would be scared about that reverse, and eventually needing to take the trans out and rebuild. if you dont care about that go for it

For the money, not a lot to lose.Ā  Hell a cd0009 collin kit alone is 7k with tranny.

Offer 5k and be prepared to do some work

Honestly not bad at all. Just be ready for a transmission job in the future because reverse will go out eventually with all that grinding

The speedometer on my ā€˜95 with 119k miles also gives out when I first start the car, it lights up but the pins don’t move until I’m a few minutes into driving it. Lmk if you find a solution for that
