Good Deal?

Hi,
Is this a good deal? I can get a complete 86 ta with a mint body (interior is rough and car doesn't start) for $500. Car has t-tops, LG4, auto, with 176K on the odeometer. Is this a good deal to try to fix up?

Thanks

what's wrong with it? I'd take it in a heart beat haha, but that's just because I really want to drive an F-Body again

NO clue...guy says it doesn't run and it doesn't. He wants it gone so no time to mess with it. Body is close to mint but the rest is questionable..just wanted to know with that setup if it was good or not...

if worse comes to worse, you can part it out and gain about 500 dollars, assuming all the parts are mint... espescially if it has GFX

bring it to someone who knows cars cuz it could be a $20 fix or it could be in need of major work. i bought my TA for $300 and it didnt run, and all it needed was a starter! lol, dumd H.S. kid didnt know what he had. he thought it needed a new engine.
