Looks like a good start for someone for what I saw on it. I noticed it has  the drain tubes for the rear window channel like I did on mine. I would like to see the under side of the package tray area. Gonna see what it brings price wise.

Likewise, and as Jim said, looks like a good starting point. Especially for someone entering the hobby on a small budget, allowing them to enjoy the car while cleaning,detailing and addressing the obvious issues one at a  time. Buckets, deluxe seat belts, 12 bolt posi  and all the docs are a big plus. It doesn’t look like it’s been messed with much. The high dollar stuff like the area between the back glass and the trunk could be addressed later depending on what it ends up bidding to. The first thing I’d do is pull the back seat. Who knows?

I  wonder what that coil of tubing by  the back bumper is for?

That’s to hold extra brake fluid. 😆

I'm guessing air shocks..... The valve was mounted at the licence plate and run along the frame to them. 

Nice that they weren't just torn out when the shocks were changed to gas/oil.

The description mentions it was for air shocks.

Where’s the AC compressor?  And the ad states it has a tach… it does not.

I had to go back and look if they were both in a box in the trunk 🤣

I see it brought a respectable $ 16,000. Not bad for a great start on a First Gen!
