Hi--we also had one in the 80's--loved driving it but hated living in it. Ours had the 360 engine and it was easy to drive and had adequate power. When parked, it seemed very small and cramped. Despite doing everything I could to get better mileage, the best I could get was about 9 mpg. Sold it because at that mpg, decided something bigger couldn't do much worse on gas. All in all, it was a great rig and this one looks like a preserved gem! At that price, how could you go wrong? I would buy it and optimistically look forward to having some fun! Sure you might have to spend on repairs and replacement parts, but probably not all at once. Go for it!
