Ok, JUST found out it is NOT a numbers matching car. Whoops. I most have assumed that. well, that settles that. not worth it (to me)
Will hold out for something better. I appreciate all the input to help me consider my Firebird. Maybe back to the Ohio car, but in my twenties I went through the restoration process and not sure I want to deal with too much of that again...at least not now. Which means paying more, of course. I'd have to list out what exactly needs to be done. At least with engine and transmission stuff....I drop off the car and magic happens...including the money disappearing act. But I don't have to put in the time and blood. Tears, yes...in the form of vanishing money. hmmm.
