OK, here's what I've found out. Car doesn't look too bad considering age, paint faded, but salvageable. interior can work with. Did try to start the car and no movement from Tach. Leads me to believe the crank sensor as I believe this also sends a signal to the fuel relay as well. Current owner also believes its the sensor as he already has the part, but no desire or time to install as hes moving across country with the Air Force.
He stated that he has already, in the past 7yrs, replaced many items such as the O2, water pump, belts, etc...

All electronics seemed to work, top worked.

I believe I can buy for $2000 as is. I'm sure I can get it running as I do work on a lot of cars, but how well it runs, drives, shifts, after is the unknown.

Tell me this, if I do sink $2K into it, worst case and it doesn't run as should, how hard would it be to get $2K back out of it?

I am an electrical engineer by trade and the electronics portion of these cars don't scare me much.
