He is asking to much for it plus it sounds like it needs alot of small things. Was the power steering pump just removed or did he install a manual rack?

You know what you have, You don't know what he has other than what you see. I make it a point never to buy someone elses Hot Rod. I buy a good running pristine car and then mess it up myself, lol

If it has motor problems, I'm not worried about that. All I care is that the body is straight with no rust. I may see if he wants to trade straight up, but I doubt it. He may just bored with it and want something different to play with. If there are any problems, it could just be something small that I could easily fix.
