Should I get an 89 Formula?

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and I have a few questions. There is an 89 Formula for sale here in town, its not in the best of shape, but the guy only wants 700 for it. It has the 350, T Tops and stuff, not sure if they leak or not. Something is wrong with the drivers window, as it does not stay up by itself, and the intererior is in crappy condition. The body looks straight, with minor pings. Sorry I dont have any pics of the car, but should I condider getting the car? Thanks for all you help!
Brad

Axle/Gears: Sag 3.73, B&W 3.45
Formula 350 T-tops... $700

Sounds like a good buy, you won't find one for less.

THere is an 89 Formula 350, Hard top at a dealer right now, it has all the options except the T's it looks pretty good, there asking almost $6000 and it has 91,000 miles. Has the SLP runners on it tho.

Make sure its a 350, check the VIN, the 8th didget should be an "8", if its an "E" I would walk away, It it was an "F" I might still consider it.

Deffinantly sounds like a good buy, you probably wont find one for a better price, get the vin checked out and go for it.
