    I like it very much but it needs a lot of work for an $8K car. Lots of interior corrosion and possibly mold. Having sat for decades would indicate a lot of little items need replacing.

    Love the color. Great start to a nice restoration. Sure gonna need a lot of interior work.

    Agreed. One owner, low mileage, etc can be appealing. But this looks to need a lot of work for that price. Now, if it was a Q or N code, that might help justify the price...

    Good looking GTS. Unfortunately, these cars don't bring high dollar amounts like a GM product does. There is also very little aftermarket support for them. Q code, N code, those are the more valuable ones.

    they all seem to be garaged lately or barn finds that seems to be the new sales pitch.

    Not bringing high dollar amounts just gives the Po folks a chance. :)
