You should check the head number, and look out head gasket/head issues. Check for rust, look for knickknacks that don't work.
Well that all depends on the condition.

like take 3k subtract title swap/licence fees, 6 months for your insurance premium then that is the jump of point.
so what maybe like 2600? Dude may not like to hear that, who knows. I guess you gotta look at what it's really worth to you. The problem with there being so few, like you say, is that then the seller kinda has you by the balls.
and from that single photo that car does look cherry
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'
I'd say in my opinion I'd like to be on the road with that baby for 3k
