Shore looks like a well kept example.

Buy it and swap it out for Nutsack Tan.

Red interior is the best part of the car, IMO. I worked on those cars new and they were worse than the 1981's, which in CA, were terrible. The crossfire intakes liked to suck the gaskets in and leak, there were also camshaft issues, etc. In CA, the car would be a pass because it has to be smog tested every 2 years and actually pass a tough test. If I were looking for a C3, on the cheap, I would look for a '73-'74 which is pre cat converter and much easier to work on. Hell, anything '79 and back would be fine. Knowing what I do about the crossfire set-up as a retired mechanic, I would pass on this car personally. YMMV...

Looks good on top. I would want to see it on a lift to check frame, suspension, etc...and what are the interior things with the hot chicks printed on them?

It's 40 years old fercrissakes! Any issues it had as a new car have either been dealt with or never presented themselves to begin with. It is clean, appears well cared for and should be considered strongly if the OP wants a clean example.

That is a beautiful car, Norm. That seems to be a very fair price in today’s market. Pending it checks out, I say go for it.
