Your asking price has plummeted to $26k1) Original air cleaner is missing
2) radiator is very close to exploding. Literally.
3) Typical oil leaks on lower front of engine
4) Front axle due for typical rebuild
5) Original wheels missing
These are the first things I see. These indicate a LOT of maintenance is due.
If you have ANY service records, that will help sell, particularly if the head gasket has ever been replaced and by whom.
Thank you. I do have the original wheels. I’m not sure if the head gaskets have ever been replaced. I’ll have to see about getting a radiator. I appreciate the input.1) Original air cleaner is missing

Thank you so much!I might be wrong, but those look like the original coolant hoses next to the heater control valve. At 200k miles I’d check all the water lines when you get the radiator replaced.
Thank you so much for the input. I appreciate everyone that has. Very nice people on here.In that condition it is probably a $4 to $6k rig. Frame looks pretty crusty to be considered a total restoration candidate. Without hearing it run it is hard to know a true value. The front end/axle work could cost $2,500 in a hurry. The seats could cost $300 to $2000 depending upon the overall quality. I think the goal on an 80 is to spend the same repairing it as you spent to buy it. That total amount should equal completed value. That is just my standard and I don't usually flip them for a profit. Someone looking to buy it and sell it for a profit would need to own it for less than $3000k.
Thank you!It has less rust than usual for the Cincy area. I would price it at $6k and take the first $5k offer
Hi, it looks like I’m about 2.5 hours from HarnedIn the interest of your friend, I'm still at $8k firm.
1) you won't be selling to a turn-key purist as-is.
2) you won't be selling to an active 80 owner @that price as-is.
But good news! These days (numbered, no doubt) the majority of 80 buyers are in neither camp imo.
How far are you from Harned, KY?
Hi, are you saying you’d be interested in buying it for $6-7k? Sorry for my ignorance.I would expect to see $8k on that in my area. And I would happily offer 6-7 myself.
Absolutely. Based on pics alone. I know these things inside and out quite well and have a fully equipped shop. If I were relying on someone else to work on it....$500Hi, are you saying you’d be interested in buying it for $6-7k? Sorry for my ignorance.
Yes, it appears they’re costly to get worked on by others, but it sounds like more expertise is vitally important to properly maintain them.Absolutely. Based on pics alone.
