Get back in the game…? 👀

I found one gentlemen, there’s a 95 GST hardtop a few hours away, he wants like 1500 for it. Knocking, but runs and drives. All there in one piece. What do we think? I’m going off to college and gonna be working so I’ll be some busy. But I’ve been dying to get a project car again, and I miss my eclipse more than anything, but I hated that convertible. I want hard top. Let me know what you guys think, I might have to go pick this up and tow her away.

Biggest issue here in the Midwest is rust, especially by strut towers next to the side motor mount. I've also seen AWD with rear subframe falling to pieces and getting rotten off from the body. All the mechanical issues are a small thing, structural damage is game over. Even if it's welded pated etc ...the integrity is not there. Make sure it's not rusted to heck, it is over 30 years old

Long time no see man! Definitely go look at it! If it came from anywhere in the midwest, definitely check that rust. Strut towers, rockers, spare tire well, and apparently gas tank mounts (on my car at least) love to rust out on those rust belt cars. Looks like you're in California so you should maybe be okay. Get a Carfax too, before you go spending money on it. Although 1500 does sound like a good deal if the tranny and body are good. Obviously the engine will need some work as you said. Post some more pics when you get a chance!

Definitely ask for a lot more pics before you make that trip.
