I know the value of something is relitive, but I'm just trying to get a general idea (think the seller is a bit high)
1987 Buick - think it's an S&S
Body:
Body is pretty good. White paint isn't bad, roof has a couple tears (very small) but again, not bad. Biggest flaw is door bottoms (window channels) are rotted out - Outside skin still good.
Glass:
All Good - no cracks. Windshield was replaced, has a good amount of sealer around it. no indications of leaks inside.
Interior:
Looks mint - front & back. Wood bed w/ all hardware (end loader only)
All elect. seems to work (locks, windows, etc)
Here is where things get 'if-e'...
Car has sat aprox. 3 years in carport (cement floors but open front wall)
Tires are dry-rot, exhaust sitting on floor (e.g. rotted off), leaking break lines are the 3 major problems up front.
Dumped some gas down the carb and the 5.0 L (307 ci) started right up, tranny seems to go right in gear (couldn't move it on flat(s) and no breaks). Motor sounded pretty good - no ticking, etc and no sign of leaks under the motor. but again, loud w/o exhaust.
While it is in basically good shape and really looks fixable, I'd NEVER pay his asking price for a 'regular' car as sits... but a hearse???
what do you think.
(purposily didn't mention asking price as not to influance - wanna see how close you guys are)
