well... 71k is low mileage for the year... but still it isn't really fresh either. Are you planning on daily driving it, or is it a hobby/ weekend car. I think, that if it was in great shape. no dents no dings no paint imperfections... No rust (check under those bins) and everything works as it should. I would spend about $5000 for an 81 GSL that did not need any work for that mileage. But it would need to be cherry.

I think Mr. Miller hit it on the nose. About 5K if it starts and runs with no issues.
