Judging by the REALLY poor shape (what little I see) and rust on the DOOR? I can only imagine how bad the floor is rusted out.....I'd give him $5. Ok, maybe $6!

Re: Holy crap- Mecham TA

The car itself is worth alot since they only made 300 street legal 1982 MSEs. But give him 2-3k.

Check the hood with a magnet, if it is aluminum it is worth a small fortune.
