I am amazed at how good it looks! The bodies were known for early rusting and Japanese vinyl for early crumbling. The condition of the car is one in a million.

No 1 condition that car should be worth about $5k at most! 

We had a guy work for us that drove one exactly like that, even the same colour. He locked the doors whenever he parked it on the jobsite. The funny thing about that was we were usually alone, just us couple of guys doing a remodel or such on a customers home. On one particular roofing job we ridiculed him into finally leaving it unlocked. We were on a house in the middle of nowhere with a half mile long driveway. As we were on the roof the lady of the house came out, non-chalantly got into the driver seat, turned on the car and started to drive away. Alonzo (his name) could not get off the roof quick enough. Chased down the lady just before she got to the road. 

Turns out the repair shop was going to drop off a loaner car to her that day and she thought that was it. 

 

He went back to locking the doors!

Not a really desirable model, but I could imagine close to $10K if it were in Southern California.
