Needs some work but looks like a generally solid car. That exhaust system is pretty funky, though.

I was just going to question that exhaust when I saw your post Stuart. What's up with that? I DO like the car though and the price is not crazy for what it is.

This clown still owes $9k on an '02 Z/28 and wants them to take over payments!! LOL!!!

I thought that Bonneville Convertible was pretty solid as well. Looks like the exhaust shop has done too many 3rd/4th gens

I'd love to have that Bonneville Convertible... if I had room for it. Take a look at the passenger's side in the underside photo of the exhaust... it looks to me as if there's a hole in the outer side of the floor across from the oil filter.

If you want an El Camino, and you're over 5'9", here is the car for you.

If he added a foot to give himself more room, why did he put a bench seat back there?

That thing is a major collection of garbage that has been put together in one vehicle. Someone'e "dream" (nightmare) that hasn't been completed.

Yeah, but it's "bad ass"

No doubt! That as the roughest 251 miles in history!

wrong hood scoop, never seen one with those tires new.

I busted tires at a Firestone tire center 1978-80 and I can't make myself remember ever seeing that particular Goodyear namesake. Not that we did many new car take-offs. GR 70-15 would be consistant with a '78 new car, as it was just before the metric sizes started showing up. A close look at the lugnuts brings back memories. Those are OEM and no sign of swelling that was typical of that style. Also, the wheel center looks more like a mint condition specimen, verses restored.

And the ad doesn't just say 'actual miles', it says "actual documented original miles", so it's not like the guy is odometer challenged.

He can make any claim he wants about being actual or documented - doesn't make it true. How do you definitively document that mileage as being legit?

That trim ring and center cap condition are totally in disagreement with the rest of that wheel. As is the obviously very rusty brake caliper. Who knows what the story is with that car, but I smell an awful lot of fish.

Looks more like 251000 miles.

Looks like someone doesn't understand how five digit odometers work

As crazy as it might seem, if the underside of that TA isn't all rotted out, $4500.00 might not be a deal breaker price in the current market. I used to buy Ta's in that shape for under 1K all the time when I worked at the Pontiac dealer. They would typically give the original owner $500.00 trade-in for one in that condition running and then offer it to the mechanics for 1K. Double their money with no effort, no auction. They would never put a wreck like that on a used car lot at the dealer. But that was in the mid-late 80's and the cars were worthless unless a SD car. Times have certainly changed. Now the late 2nd gen cars are the darlings of the era. Plus this one only has "251" miles on it!!!!

Actually under the hood that looks believable. Fire? Building collapse?
