How much is it worth?

Im looking at buying a 1986 GXL and the interior is perfect. Its a 5sp thats been sitting for about 2 years now and there's only one spot you can tell signs of rust. It has a sport suspension package, and the tires only have 100 miles on them.
Heres the problem, the engine blew an apex seal and needs a rebuild. The guy is going to sell me the car with a custom strait pipe exhaust for $350 should i do it?

I might pay $350 for it. I don't like buying S4's unless they are turbos. I've got a couple motors I'll let you buy for really cheap. That is if you either want to pick it up or pay for shipping.

Why would you want to get rid of the car after you rebuild it? Keep it and have fun man! And yes, I would get it.

Why does it have to stay at your parents house if you go to college? I know plenty of people that live on campus and own cars..
