Not mine, but thought it was a fair price for what it is...

If no rust, it's a steal.

So Much Want! Been craving a Convertible project.

Although I should probably get my Formula back on the road first......

It's a 6cyl. That's all it'll ever be worth until someone rips that 3.1L out and puts something else in it. Even then it'll never have big collector value.

If I lived about 10 hours closer I would snag it up... a TTA swap would be fantastic... But I might consider a LS swap easier and cheaper to come by.

I am not sure how my wife would feel about me buying a $1500 car, investing $15,000 to end up with a $5000 car tho.

Yep, don't build a V6 shell into something for resale. If you do it, you better be planning to be buried in it, or be prepared to take a loss when you sell it.
