New to this board, hope this is the right forum for this.
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1977 C3 from an individual. He says that the engine was rebuilt about 1k miles ago although the engine compartment is quite dirty, imo, for a fairly new rebuild. "Performance enhancements" include intake, cam & carb. Supposed to be original engine, L-48 according to the VIN, but haven't checked numbers yet.
The doors and hood alignment are off and noticeable rust in the door frame. The car has been repainted and is flaking with some orange peel in the rear. Speedometer cable was disconnected for some work and just never put back. Minor leak on rear of tranny pan, oil sender and alarm non-functional. There is no belt for the a/c. The brakes were replaced recently but pull when braking. Says it needs bled which he will take care of before someone buys the car. Car registration is out of state.
All in all, it would make a good project car. Asking price is $8200, thinking of offering $7000. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks!
