I am picking up the coupe this weekend.
There are still 2 1970 sedans. One red with thin white racing stripes.
Will take pictures and post. The other sedan is burried and looks to have front tne damage.

The car is buried in a garage behind a 70 sedan, so it will be tough to get on the street. Any pointers on how/what to check out on this car would be appreciated.

> Assuming (oops, I used that word) that the body is rust free, average interior, motor spins and the compression is "good" and the owner has keys and title in hand....how much should I offer? I know that is a loaded question, but I need a price range.
