The "Help me buy an S-Chassis" Thread

[AllThingsGravy]

So should I be hoping on this 92 Rust free automatic coupe for 1.8k? An older dude approached me asking if I wanted to buy his car that's been sitting in his garage for 3 years. Completely stock with AC with a clean title... Car needs TLC but frame rails are clean and the paint is not too bad, no dents at all. The only things I'm worried about is if the re are a bunch of backfees since the tags were expired since 2013. He told me they non-op'd it so (I'm guessing) there is little to no fees. Also the car has about 200k miles and has been pretty much sitting for 3 years I don't know how the engine is. I started it up and seemed to run fine, there is a tapping from the valve cover which I'm hoping is the upper guide. Any thing I should be worried about guys? Any help is appreciated thanks!

At that price, youre basically paying for a clean shell. If the shell is 100% rust free and no accidents its worth it. Wouldn't take too much to be a solid daily driver.
