[dzreaper]

i dont know how much its worth in this condition or how to tell exactly what model. its complete though. from my research so far i think its a base model coupe 4 cyli, but how can i know for sure without getting a mechanic? someone was working on it because the steering wheel was off with tools all around. there was also some new exhaust pipes too, are they worth anything? i can always get a dup tiltle if i sell it as a whole car. if its worth it. ive already got offers for scrap but is it special? as you can see i need some help im having trouble with the pics, if anyone know a secret. i need help with that too!

You pic's are showing up. Looks like you didn't attache them correctly.

[dzreaper]

i know i did it a few times and i just cant get them up?? ill keep trying.

[4eyewanabe]

Make sure that are uploading them and attaching them. If you are posting a image link, use flickr, photobucket or another similar site that allows image code for posting.

[dzreaper]

hey, i did it!

Cool, is it a coupe with a vinyl roof?

[dzreaper]

yes, it is.

Post up the vin number and buck tag info in the "production numbers and decoding" section. That will give you some more info on what options the car has.

Unfortunately these cars really aren't bringing a lot of money, and because it doesn't have a V8 it won't be very desirable to the masses. The vinyl roof is a unique option and if its all original that another plus (people love original cars, but a lot of folks will want to drop a V8 into it). Post up some more pics if you can, I think it looks pretty cool, but I'm a sucker for a vinyl roof car.

i will when i go back there. im writing a list of things to check. like vin, eng size etc..as soon as i get em ill post em. thanks

What kind of rims are those? Never seen them before.

If you look at this page in the 1979 brochure, I think that they are the rims just below the TRX rims near the bottom of the page:

ok, so i got some info. from the vin its a 1980 even though it says dop 79 on the door. its a 6 cyl, it has ac and the wheels are 13 in. it was last registered in 1991. is it worth more than a few hundred dollars??

[dzreaper]

i posted a couple more pics

[TopGear85]

Its definately worth a few hundred bucks, but probably $1000 max (depending on how nice it cleans up and runs). Are you planning on selling? I would keep it, get it in nice runjing order, and daily drive it.

[dzreaper]

theres a few more pics up top too.

[dzreaper]

im just gonna sell it. if i kept it id probably sit forever and then it would really be worth nothing. i just love old things, especially cars and try to keep them out of the scrap heap whenever i can!

[TopGear85]

Got any interior pics?

[dzreaper]

i didnt, but its being towed tomorrow so ill see better than.

[dzreaper]

it looked a little rough though!

[82 fairmont guy]

Don't scrap it, give it a good wash and put it up for sale, I'd be interested if it wasnt so far away

[dzreaper]

thats what i decided. i had it towed and im in the process of cleaning it. it looks a little worse in the light, lol. but not too bad. im amazed how clean the rockers are for this area. i figured itd be rusted to death but the whole undercarriage is fine. needs a muffler thats it. so ill see how it goes. if it doesnt sell ill part it out on ebay or something, i just cant scrap it! thanks for the advice. ill post pics when i pretty er' up
