The car is far from perfect, but the best I've seen in my (almost) three year search. "Functionally" I could find nothing wrong with the car. Everything works, started easily, idled great, good oil PSI, no overheating after idle for over 30 minutes. Car is wearing all of it's original sheetmetal, trunk, and floorboards. In certain view angles you can see many paint imperfection (sanding marks and obvious poor prep areas). I found on the passenger quarter way low a small area that is obviously bondo, maybe the size of a half dollar. No bubbling anywhere. Frame rails solid. Trunk extensions great. Car spent it's life in Utah, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.
Wiring under dash looks great, and under hood good to pretty good. Could not really find any Redneck Engineering, or Roadkill evidence.
No spare, or jack.
All glass is original. Windshield etched in areas. All windows roll up and down, but took lots of effort.
The seller lives in a mansion on a mountain. Dirt and gravel road. Raining cats and dogs while I was there, so was only allowed to drive around his courtyard. For what little I drove it was fine. Brake pedal firm, power steering overboosted like a mopar should be. Horn does go Beep Beep. Together we confirmed numbers matching.
Not as much documentation as I would have liked, but proof of motor rebuild 4 years ago, and some receipts. Nice lope, nice exhaust, although the exhaust manifold leaked oh so slightly after the car was heat soaked and restarted. Nice Flowmaster exhaust.
The seller has $250,000 worth of B Bodys in his garage. This car is his 'lowest value' car and being sold to make room for an E Body.
I probably paid too much at 26, but if I did I did not overpay much. Maybe a grand, or so.
The car is allowed to stay in his garage 10 days, so I need to move on getting him paid and getting it to Tucson.
Thanks for all of the nice replies. Take care, Bill

Bring her up, we can get the regulators working better in a day. Take them out, bead blast them and clean them up. If the rears need rollers I have the original from the right and the parts that I did not use since there was no reason to replace them. Likely could use new weatherstrip in the channels too. That helped a lot on mine.
