Re: '71 2800 on ebay (archive)

I had the oportunity of actually looking at this car. If you are looking for a rust free car this one has very very little. The pictures don't show all of the dents on this car though. one under the driver side low beam, a contiguous dent/scrape on the driver's door/front fender, one dent on the left rear which has pushed the inboard end of the left tailight out about a 1/4", and another scrape type of dent on the left rear quarter. I might have bought this car if it weren't for all the dents.

Good points of the car:
just some surface rust, the trunk/shock tower were clean, the pan was clean, the engine bay was clean, and even the spot behind the glove box was clean.

the dash and center console were perfect! the only problem with the dash was the right corner on the passenger side (usual cloudy worn-out finish).

The seats and carpet were ok overall about a 6-7 out of a 10.
The glass was all good with very few scratches that I could see (or remember).

The car runs pretty well, lots of blue smoke (I didn't test drive it so I'm not sure if the engine doubles as a smoke screen).

the car to me was worth 3000 to 3500. I didn't make him an offer.
