oh, also... the car has an r134 AC conversion, new compressor, expansion valve and accumulator, theAC has a slow leak so that will need repaired. although i asked about the leak and he tells me it only keeps a charge for about 2 weeks before the compressor starts cycling so it isn't exactly a SLOW leak.

I would price this as if it were a generic 82, not a CE. I kinda like the T5 conversion. If the paint is done by Ray Charles over at Earl Shiebs, I wouldnt buy the car. If the paint and interior are nice, the car has good mechanicals w/no issues with the t-arms, calipers or x-fire and its a SOLID number 3+ condition car mid-teens is a good ball park. Only thing to keep in mind is most folks would quicker pay for an 82 non-ce that has nice paint then a CE that was changed...   

that is what im hoping for, im hoping that people will not be wanting a repainted CE so i can get this car cheaper.

I hope you find and purchase a good one.

Coincidentally, yesterday I bought a '78 that had the rear hatch.  It looks like someone just adapted the hinges to the existing cage.  They had not gotten as far as figuring out latches or weatherstrip.  We will part out the car.  I just saw a pair of hinges sell for $1,000, and I have been offered $1,000 for the glass in the past when I didn't have one.  Everything everyone said above about the lip, seals, latch mounting, etc all looks to be true.  I can't imagine going to all that trouble.  But when someone with a real CE needs those parts, I have them.
