At first glance it appears nice. Unrestored seems to match the photos and what has been repainted looks nice as well. As always, check the history then write the check.

Isnt the way eBay lists cars frustrating? I have had an eBay auction before and found it difficult to search for the car even when I knew it was there!

How anout those prices? Is this really 40k different from the other yellow car?
Gateway Classics are in a few states including  near me in Mi. Every time I look at their cars they seem over priced to me but that is my opinion. Ditto for Vanguard Motor sales a few miles from me in Plymouth Mi. Dealers. They offer financing and get a premium I think from Foreign buyers who would rather pay one from a dealer than risk buying from a private individual. Gary
Also looking at the Gateway car maybe I'm being picky but for 109 at least have a clutch pedal chrome trim ring on the car. LOL. Someone painted over the emissions decal? No underside or trunk pics but a "hundred" of the same outer body pics? Lucas Fog lamps look incorrect. OK, I'm being picky...It is a driver and not a show car so at 109K I'm SMH....

^^^ that is pretty much what I've heard and seen here. The guys at the local Gateway seem great (definitely enthusiasts), but most of the cars are on consignment - so who knows where those high $$ prices come from?

I was looking at this car also, if I had the space I would have bought it.

We have looked at this car pretty close.
 It is a California car, no rust. Runs and shifts good.
Still retains lots of original items, like trunk mat, spare tire donut and jack.
Had a repaint 25-30 years ago.
Would make someone a really nice car. Doesn't seem to have been monkeyed with.
