I found this '78 2+2 at a dealer in Florida. Been looking a long time for a car in this condition. It has 11,300 () miles on it. A V6 with auto transmission. It needs very minimal work. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Praises?

Reason: picture!
I had bought a 78 brand new. It was white with the rallaye package on it. The 302 with a 4 speed. I had it for 2 years then traded it in and regretted it ever since. I have been seriously looking for a 78 for about 5 years. When I spotted this one on the internet i knew i had to have it. I have posted a picture of my original...the picture is not that great but it was a nice car. This car is all original...the only thing i really need to replace is the t-top weatherstripping. I know I overpaid for it ($9,000)...but i figured what the heck...i don't think i would be able to find another thats in such good shape..any advice on keeping this car up would be very interesting.....Thanks..
$9,000.00 and you think you overpaid....NOPE!!!! I have over 7K in mine and I am not even close to completion...Geez I had no clue how much time and money this resto would cost....Your 9K is a steal....You are very lucky! If I had to do it over again I would have bought like you did...That is a very nice car...Enjoy it...In the meantime I need to back to stripping 30 years of paint. Maybe I will be done in time for the Woodward Dream Cruise in August...
So you think I did ok with the price...well I never bought a car without doing all the correct things like taking it out for a drive...asking allot of questions...looking under the hood...checking for leaks...so buying over the internet just by looking at allot of pictures was quite the gamble but the car is great. I belong to the AACA and the cruise nights are allot of fun and the car gets quite a bit of attention. Good luck with your project and post some pics when your done....
Thanks for all the positive feedback on the car
