Whats this "barn find" worth?

[84CutDog]

This 84 was a nice barn find a kid bought with 44k on it, in good running condition.

Fast forward to now, it has 66k and has sat outside for about a year after a little fender bender.
The 3.8 ran well before he parked it.

I know the guy personally and I have a chance to buy it. What would you say its "worth"?

(Basic plans would be tune up, put front end back together, paint and bag it... for a fun cruiser)

It looks pretty clean how's the frame? Dose it come with all the parts?

Honestly, I wouldnt even know what to look for in regards to the frame.
He claims to have all the parts except for the grills....but ill have to verify.

We spit balled 1k when we talked about it recently...so I think you are on to something here.

What are you going to do with it. Looks like it has been in a front end wreck. Engine and trans probably ok. Interior nice considering
What ends do you want to justify the means?

Was it in an accident years ago also? It seems strange how many shades the other panels have on them, passenger side for example I see 3 shades.

That's why I asked how the frame is

I have a welder and have previously bagged an S10 some years ago.

Get the front put back together and get the thing running again (I personally know that it ran good before)
"Cheap" Paint Job
Bag setup bought individually (no kit)
Rims/tires
Stereo (I can build a trunk setup and glue fabric to it)
Interior is real nice, minus some fading and a falling headliner....which is an easy fix.

I would hope to get some money back out of the original rims? They have the rings and center caps to them still.

Ultimately, I want a bagged cruiser for about 5k (mostly DIY).
The clean interior and low miles is what is attractive to me.

Noticed that as well. I think sitting in the sun is showing that the front was painted or replaced at some point.

I should look under it to see if anything majorly sticks out. When I get a chance again, ill post pics.

That said, if I can get it fairly straight...id be happy. I wont be trying to win awards with it 🙂
