Sounds like a great price even if it's an L48 automatic. Everything is slow right now, except for Barrett Jackson and Kruse.

Joel's right, I've seen a lot of low mile Pace Car with engine compartments that looked 100 times worse then my 100k mile Pacer. I also saw a low milage Pacer that sat in the Texas sun for some 20 years with no T-Tops on, what a mess that was. It appeared the ole guy parked it, died and no one ever took any interest in it, what a waste.

Mine has 20,000 on it. Guy traded it in at a new car dealer. Must have sat outside for a little while. After I got it home I discovered that the carpets in the back where soaking wet. If these cars sit outside, even with a lot of the covers they sell, water finds a way in after a while. I got to get that back window molding off and see if I can seal it.
Maybe after a while some of these low mile cars that didn't increase in value as originally expected where pushed out of the garage to make room for something more important that came along?

I saw a similar car sell for 18K at the Spring Corvette Expo. Nice car lotsa documentation 2 owners. I also saw that Texas car Mark talks about...... "what a rag"!

Depending on what you want to buy there are alot of cars creeping through the market right now. Prices seem to be on the low side to me. Of the 3 Mecum auctions I recently attended I would say if you are looking for a nice ride and have the dough you are "In Like Flint.."

Just take your time.... "If they build it.... you will come..."
