Possible Firebird buy for me!

Well I went and looked at a 1982 Firebird...i
-Auto
-350 carbed
-white needs some body work
-ugly 2nd gen snowflack wheels?
-it runs but ticks like an old SB would...lifters???
-GTA style Tails-T-tops

He is askin 600 CDN but he said make me an offer bc he needs to sell it so im gonna offer 400 and see!

I am looking for a fixer upper soo, the floors looked fine in it too. but who knows till its in the air.

Do you think it would be worth it...and the tick is kinda load but not too bad sounds like lifters...any input here?
Are they bad to change? But I plan on camin it and lifters so meh!

$400CDN? i'd go ahead and look at the floors before you buy it, but that sounds really good even with a hurt motor!

Well he paid 1600 and doesnt have time to do all the body work...I looked under and the floors looked decent but never know til the carpet is pulled.
I think I am gonna pick it up do the body in a nice metallic blue or something. then tune the motor up and Cam, Intake and Carb...then gears or something but for 400 if he takes that ....i can easily flop it if the project goes no-where!

American racing brand., There the retro, i think, style. Aluminium with five holes for the lugs and the five bigger holes for the brake ventalation and then has the rivits along the diamiter of the rim. I might have a pic i can send you.
