You should have kept the car since you still haven't grown up.

Not crazy about the color but yes I would.

I had a 1980 in Midnight Blue with white interior back in the 90's.

It was an absolute dog performance wise but still a great looking car.

Had to sell it when I went back to school. at the ripe old age of 27.

I had one just like that about 10 years ago. It was one of the rare manual transmission cars. The engine had the smog removed, headers and a lumpy cam. It actually ran pretty well. I regret getting rid of it now.

You wont go any place fast. I had a 81 in the late 1980s (got it at a good price) Had for that year a rare 4SPD and the combo radio & CB. Could not wait to get rid of it!

The problems finding one in good shape. Seems like only the low milers are in good shape, and modding them just devalues them. The ones without a motor are usually so bad that even for free they're too expensive.

Not a bad price for a CE. Surprised they got 122k miles out of the ceasefire injection... Wonder if it was swapped out.
