: An older woman i know through various sources has a '73 Grabber, auto/302, in pretty good shape! It hasn't run for about 20 years, has four flat tires, and the body is rough...but the interior is prime! Plus...48k original miles!!
: My questions are:
: 1) What will need replacing? The transmission will likely be dead. I would replace all the radiator hoses...what about brake lines? What else? Is there anything else that will definitely need replacing?
: 2) Since the transmission will be dead, how what are the chances of putting a AOD in? What years work? What parts will i need? A custom transmission crossmember?
: 3) What's a good offer for this car? It has rusted through in several places, but the interior is flawless and it's low-mileage. I was thinking in the area of $250...or would that be a rip-off? I'm asking more for "what it's worth"--not what i could get away with. Because she is a friend, i don't want to rip her off.

: Thanks!!

The interior looks good now, but my guess is when you get in it and start driving it the interior will start falling apart( seats and such) by the way why has it set for 20 years? Was there something wrong with it? $100 MAX
