Like I said before, I will consider offers. I would be more than happy to show the car to anyone who is interested and can come to Dryden, N.Y. to look at it. I really have no time or desire to fix the issues with the car and can adjust the price accordingly. Thanks

I'm curious as to how someone broke the rear brake line by "pulling on it". WTF? Was he PRYING it off or was there just that much rust?

It's a '94 that has original lines on it. Was driven in ten central NY winters. Replacing brake lines is very common here.

Other issues are:
Hood release cable is broken (end broke off at lever in car, can still use with pliers)
Drivers side window seal needs replacing
Wheel wells rusting
A few other rust spots
Top of dash on passenger side is cracked from sun ( I have a Dash Mat covering it)
Damage to rf fender behind wheel (came back from shop damaged, they denied doing it)
Will need brake work (front rotors and pads)
Brake line to rear is broken and emergency brake doesn't work (no brakes)
Ac doesn't work (needed ac clutch years ago, just never fixed it)
Had to remove wheel locks after a shop lost the key (left them off, but still have the lug nut covers)
Has aftermarket alarm system that will need some work (I have it in valet mode)
Rear view mirror came off (easy fix)
^ Fix ALL this and it will (maybe) be worth your asking price...
Agreed. I guess i was being too nice lol.

you could get your asking price is the car was safetied/inspected, really needing the work,... is just beating a dead horse... it's only worth a couple hundred to a thousand... depending on how the rest of it turns out. if it needs brake lines, i would be tempted to say that the rocker panels are not pretty either, likely the usual hole in the inner rocker panels, displayed at least as a rust bubble on the inside front corner of the door frame/sill... and as most gm's of the era, rear subframe area. also likely front control arms, or at least the bushings... if they havent been done within the last couple years.

i just paid $600 as is for a 95 z26 pw, pdl, 175k KM perfect running, decent driving, drove it home. needed both control arms and stabalizer links which were nearly gone, one rotted, one slightly bent (have not changed that yet... not aiming for pot holes!), needs brake lines in the next year or so, needed tires, 2"by 10" holes in the rockers, i cut out much larger and welded in new metal, rear subframe is crusty, but still decent. muffler is blown now, rest of exhaust is crusty at best, only needed minor fender lip rust repair, tires, and a few other odds and ends.

also look at the rear spring perches inside the trunk if there are many holes in the rockers and floorboards.

overall the outside body looks decent, but from afar... and you know what they say about how things look from afar...
