Its a K code XB GS. 351 clevo, mildly worked, closed chamber heads, cam, edelbrock manifold, 750DP holley apparently has 10.4:1 flattops, 4mab crank, not a race motor buts sounds OK. toploader, ( apparently XAGT?). hurst shifter, 11" clutch, 9" with detroit locker, ( apparently XAGT?). XAGT interior, shaker, 8 and 10 inch wheels with good tyres, Larger XAGT fuel tank, 36gallon?? comes with, spare saas seats, 4 point harnesses and a 6 point rollcage.(not fitted). 2 pac paint, fairly ordinary. Has rust in the usual places, sills, wheel arch, bottoms of doors,front lower gaurds, little bit in gutters.ect ect.

I honestly dont think its worth 22k, rusty with ordinary paint, but some out there will say it is.

22k sounds a little much for what it is going on what you said pics would help a little more but even then.

I would say a rust free K-code factory 4 speed GS coupe in good ORIGINAL condition would probablt fetch 22K in todays market.
but going off your description the car sounds a little butchered and if rust is showing then it will only be worse if you strip the car sounds overpriced to me. |

It sounds pricey considering the work needed, it may be cheaper in the long run to spend a little more on something in better condition.
That or try and get it cheaper. |
