'80 242 GT for $600 - am I crazy if I don't buy it? 200 80

posted by  someone claiming to be vytas on  Thu Nov 30 06:54 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The car in question is solid, drives very well, good clutch, strong quiet engine, OD works, interior is not torn to shreds (not perfect, but no rips)

and supposedly only 120K miles on the car. Has 5 turbo alloys in good shape (1 spare!) no center caps.

On the downside, the body, while basically intact and solid, has some small dents and some rust, definite cancer on the rear quarter panels. I also found some light green goo on the inside of the oil filler cap(!), doesn't look like condensation OR coolant, no water showing on the dipstick.

I think it's worth the $600; does anyone think it might be worth more? I already have a 245, don't need a second car, but what a great project car this would be! Just thought I'd air my thoughts, I can't seem to decide on what to do...
