How much is this car worth?
A 93 Salvage title that I found on craigslist
"This vehicle has a manual transmission. I purchased this vehicle as a theft recovery - the odometer, seats and wheels were missing and are from a different vehicle. There are a few more misc things that are missing ie: roofliner, etc.. see pics. The odometer shows 44000miles. This car runs and drives."
What kinds of questions should I ask since he doesn't know the mileage?

you didn't post a price so how can anyone know if it's worth it!?
anyway don't spend more than 7 or 8k on a salvage title car in that kind of condition, unless the engine bay is spotless and the thing has fantastic vacuum at idle.
ideally if the fixing project goes to **** you want to be able to part it for at least what you bought it for.

The engine looks really clean. I tend to look at an engine bay and the interior to reflect in "usage." This car looks to be a 44k car. The most important things that can be done would be a compression test and hydrocarbon test. Anything more or less than that is aesthetics...

IMO, I wouldn't bother with the car unless you plan to gut it and make it a dedicated track/autoX car. The reason is, you'll quickly spend more money on it than it's going to be worth since it's a Salvage.
If you can't afford to purchase an FD in the $14-16k, then you'll probably have financial issues later trying to maintain one.
