He said the a/c blows cool air. But not cold. I would imagine it would be best just to remove the a/c all together. Since this won't be a DD. And stick the battery in the trunk.

Just keep it on, there's no good reason to remove it. I went to look at a car not too long ago (drove 3hrs) and had cash in hand to buy it, very clean car but someone had taken the a/c off so I passed on it.

It's a nice car. If it drives well, doesn't smoke, brakes, etc...work nicely, I think it's worth the trade.

Re: How much HP/TQ would this be?

evrything looks to good, go check the torque boxes at the rear and were the subframe connectors get weld at, there if the floor looks too wrinkle or welded its been wrecked. Check under the battery and see if the frame is rusted, thats a sign its a rust bucket, check the doors, and the floor pan were the seat is bolted, if it looks repaired, its been wrecked. Check everything.

The gear has been changed to 3.73s and he said they didn't put the speedo gear in there. So how much it cost to have that fixed?

Very good info. Look at the frame rails as he said under the battery, but look at them all the way back too. On both sides. If you see any crinkling or folded sections, then it's been hit in the front pretty good.
