Given the fact that it has not run for two years and has sat out in the elements you can bet on replacing all kinds of stuff especially seals and other soft bits. While the car may be a deal at $2500, it may also be a disaster waiting to happen.
I would take a more measured approach. Learn about the cars and what to look for and then start hunting for the good deal on a car that has been well maintained and has a traceable history. You'll still get to do your tinkering, don't worry, but you won't be dealing with one unexpected failure after another, which is what you get with orphaned cars with a mysterious past.
I never knew such a band of enthusiasts existed. There is an 82 633 parked down the street at a junk yard for sale and I can't stop looking at it, I love the styling, but I'm wondering what type of vehicle is it once its reached normal condition. They want 2500, its been out there parked for almost two years that I know of, the red interior is cracked, it wouldn't start but the flood here in Houston may have something to do with that, the water line was about 5 inches up the door from the bottom. Obviously, its a project, the guy said it runs fine, its an automatic, no power windows, seats, etc., no sunroof, white exterior, original rims. I have had project cars before, and love to tinker and love to drive a car that I love. Is this car worth it? I don't have a lot of extra cash right now so I can't get into a money-pit situation. Will appreciate all thoughts. Thanks
