An engine from 1969 with 92K miles is about used up. Those engines just don't do the miles like the engines of today can.

Yea thats true. The guy did a compression test and it to be alright...It will need a total rebuild soon. The tank would also need to be dropped and looked at, the fuel looked pretty nasty lol. Do you guys think $3,500 would be a reasonable offer on a car of this condition?

I think that would be a reasonable price for the condition it's in.

3500 is a very fair price, might be worth even 4k if the body is solid. Fixing rust gets expensive quick.

Does the car run well? I wouldn't worry too much about the 92K on the engine, if it runs and drives well. Try $3500 and see what he says.

a 92K 351w is hardly even close to being broken in. those motors were good for thousands of miles,as origionally built.

My best guess is if the report says its not a GT, then it isn't. I would trust Marti Report more than the guy. Cause that car would be really rare to have.
