Had me until I saw the front end. I really like the back of those years, and someone just f'd this one up. Price seems right if you don't mind a bit of work.

...and also, screaming about a 1976 being "paid off" might be a flag about the owner.

I think that is just FB marketplace crap they stick on ads.

Could be a fun car for that price. Looks like repainted, REALLY 76k...? Looks a little rough for that mileage, could be age though.

I think you should buy and build a 'Corvette Summer' car.

With the famous Chevy Vega steering wheel. Only to get smoked in the 1/4 by a Honda civic today.

If it runs and drives, I'd buy that for $4k.

Runs only in reverse and turns only to the left.

The front is a big red flag. Did they screw with the electrical? Look for the twisted taped connections.

It shows the seller in one of the pics. Not Mexican, just bad spelling - 'tires have good thread'

Front end needs carefully inspected. A/C is missing, fixed headlights, custom front lower spoiler/bumper assembly.

It's not totally Bubba'd, just old. I'd make sure it isn't badly rotted underneath then try and get it for $3500 and drive happy while I brought it up to my standard.
