I have a chance to get an 84 GSL SE that had a carbed 12a swapped in. It has a body kit and riced out wing but it looks good. The owner said they just put in the 12A in from a wrecked running car but did not finish the install... the motor mounts werent tightened down... the starter had yet to be put in... no header... no bat...

It has leather seats and a few small rust spots on the sunroof. It has the FMOC and has the rims off of a second gen and an electric fan.

I pulled the plugs and heard 1 strong PSHHH and 2 weaker ones. The engine didnt want to turn at first but I got a socket for the front pulley and turned it but it was hard getting started then it got stuck and I moved it back a bit and turned it again and it rotated pretty good.

700$ dropped off to my house... What do you guys think?

No lock in the rear hatch, no cowl around the steering column...

My wifes giving me sh?t that I shouldnt spend the money... but I need some other unbiased input. Let me know. Thanks....

 

if momma aint happy aint nobody happy

 

$700, I guess that ain't bad. But, I'm disappointed that they decided to drop a carb into a trim level that had EFI. (I think all -SE's had EFI but I could be wrong. Someone correct me if I am.) Personally, I myself would've kept looking for something more worth my money. Some of the things you listed do seem fair for the price, altho $500 would've been more legit. What do you plan on doing with this car anyways?

 

just getting it up and running well for my daughter... she likes mine but i dont wan to give her mine so i offered her my 94 q45... but she still wants a 1st gen.

 

most likely a can of worms eh, I picked my 84 SE up for $800 stock and running, just needs a paint job..in the end all that matters is if you really want it

 

i would, just cause its a gsl-se and id rather have that than the plain gs.
