oh and the underbody looked pretty good and all the floor panels and turnk. there was a few small dots of bubbling rust in a rear quarter panel and in front of the driver side door there was a decent size bubble, nothing has broken through, yet. There was also a valve, a plumbing store variety valve under the hood, I'm assuming to turn the water flow to the heater core on/off.
The bottom line is that you are going thinking about buying a car that is going to need a lot of work and maintaince if you want to enjoy the car. The $3k you are talking about is only a down payment of what you are going to spend on this car to get in the shape you want and to maintain it afterwards.
I am not saying it is or is not a good idea or a good price. Only that the $3k is just a small part of the money and sweat that is going to go into this car.
I think that if you got it up to very good condition, it would be worth around $20-30k, but that is after lots of money and lots of work. If I were interested in restoring an older car, I would definitely be interested.
Here is a similar car that sold for around $6k. So I think the price is right.

Thats a capri isn't it?
looks like a cuban owns that thing...
Whats in it for an engine? 317?
I have a 56 mainline with a 272.
You wouldn't tell me where it is would you? ; >}
thanks guys, my goal would be to restore it, I'm currently doing research to see how much that would cost and how difficult its going to be to even find the parts.
Don't wait! Buy it! If it becomes a burden it will still be sellable. Or tell me where it is. ;+}
