Seller wants $5900 for a unloved Grand National with 180,000 km's. So if you want to restore a grand national or build a race car out of it, go for it.

See, you're saying 180,000 kms with limited coddling is a bad thing, but if you were a Grand National, would you rather be driven hard for 180,000 kms or caged in a gilded garage your whole life?

Drive it hard but take care of it, the owner drove it hard but did not take care of it.

At least the interior looks ok.

I know right. I was expecting some water damage from leaky the 80s T-tops

I was expecting rips and tears like the exterior, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It almost looks like you could eat off the carpet.

That thing looks like it's been daily driven every winter since 87'. I can only imagine what the undercarriage looks like.

The seller says "Frame is good" I'm not sure if I want to believe that.

All exhaust systems rust after 30 years! The needs aren't unusual for a car of its age and mileage. And 180k km is only about 110k miles, so not bad at all :)
