Fantasy crashes headlong into reality. I fantasized about how cool this car was going to be, all 75 hp of 1976 Japanese goodness...

Would you pay $3000 for this 1976 B210?

Toby says “Not this car, pal.”

Below the valve cover it was plastered with oil.

Headlights and blinkers did not work, and every bit of rubber and weatherstripping was a mess.

For the right person, a nice project, but not for me, and surely not at $3000.

He said he had buyers from LA and SF drooling for it. Good luck, fella.

$3000 feels off by a factor of 10...

Buy it for your son and if he wants a car, he’ll have to learn how to work on it. Bonus, you get to drive it.

This reminds me of the DeMuro video where the car is worth negative $35.

I will say that I paid too much for my project. that being said, I can get all new parts for it, so 3 grand makes a bit more sense. In this condition... parts are too uncommon (and therefore expensive). I’m gonna say no.

I was thinking that for $3000 something would have to be in perfect condition: Interior, exterior or mechanicals. 0 for 3, CP.

Save for a rare Celica or Supra, that’s a Celica GTA

Wow, that’s like the PNW markup my buddy and I were discussing. He was like, “Yeah, I have comprehensive on my car, but they’d probably only give me $200 for it”, and I was like, “Dude, you can’t buy a DD-worthy running car that keeps out the rain for less than $3000 in this area. If it runs and it isn’t full of water, it’s worth three grand.”.

It wasn’t a joke.

This one doesn’t appear to be keeping out water, so it’d probably be worth $1500-2000 if it runs. But this also appears to be in CA, so it shouldn’t be worth that much.

Yep, that’s a $1,000 car at best. That’s too bad it’s so ratted out on the inside. Having had this car myself, they are incredibly easy to work on but a bad dash board would put me over the edge. Everything else doesn’t look too bad.
