My neighbor stopped by the other day and asked if I wanted to buy his 74 Silver Coupe 2.7 that's been seeping oil onto his garage floor for five years now since moving from Califonia to VA. He drove it regularly (he says daily) in Cal, but has driven it only a dozen times here in VA.

Car has 80k original miles, 1-owner California car, Several oil leaks - extent of which have not been investigated, absolutely no rust, Interior pretty much hammered by the Cal sun. HAve not driven the car to know what else might be lurking in there. Any idea what it might be worth, he said to make him an offer?

Is the 2.7 a candidate for removal and re-build with any sort of reliability, or would it be better recommened to drop in a 3.0 or 3.2?

Not sure I'm going to buy it, just playing with the idea if anyone else might be interested in the car, let me know.
