All of it was stuff that I could fix, but not worth my time when I have no time; especially on a car that already has a 'rebuilt' title.
I swapped a top with a plastic window onto it and replaced the Litronics with a pair of slightly burned halogen light with quickly improvised corners to replace the missing amber ones.
One evening I listed it on Facebook Marketplace for $4,000 clearly stating the problems it had. Almost immediately I had more messages from 'buyers' than I wanted to deal with. Someone came the next morning, handed me cash and drove it away.
I've noticed that the buyer 'flips' cars and trucks and immediately relisted it for $6,500. Hopefully both he and any new buyer know the saying about a cheap Porsche.

Hopefully a potential new owner takes the time to have a PPI done.
