Re: '80 242 GT for $600 - am I crazy if I don't buy it? 200 80

posted by  someone claiming to be David Russell on  Thu Nov 30 11:23 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I bought my 1980 242GT for $250. It has some surface rust due to years of exposure to the San Diego sun. No body rust. One small dent on the passengers side rear quarter panel. Had a lot of new parts. Only needed a caliper bolt, 2 hardlines and new brake fluid (I replaced the entire front brake system save a few hardlines and the vacuum assist) to get it on the road. It has 213,XXX miles with a head rebuild within the last 10,000 miles. Interior is faded but otherwise in great condition. I would try to get the price cut in half. If you are willing to do most of the work yourself and shop around for good parts at great prices then I would go for it. The only area that is going to be very expensive is the body. Make sure you know where the rust is.

Best Regards,

David Russell
