Both are OEM 86 SS's. Both are similarily asking priced(roughly $8000USD). If you had to pick from below - which one? I think I will pass on both.(just wonder how the GB Forum would respond)
#1 - stored inside the last 20 years, low 24K miles, minimal chassis/floor pan surface rust, a dozen shallow dents and nicks from storage, t top area rating =8, interior= 8. dash 10. I anticipate immediate problems with the fuel system, cooling system, braking hydraulics due to neglected storage. Safety checked pass. Letting this one go due to body bruises and poor storage methods.
#2 - stored (and driven regularily) uncovered (22 years) outside May to October(garaged winter), Average 80K miles, pass side windshield leak(repaired cowl, drain hole plugged) rear pass side floor repaired from same leak, some chassis/floorpan surface rust, no t top, paint very good = 8, interior sunfaded cloth no tears =7, dash =9 uncracked.
Heads repaired, trans serviced, Needs $500 repairs for safety pass. Letting this one go due to potentially more hidden rust issues.
If I had to decide, I would offer 2/3 of their asking price(even then that might be high)
Thanks
