Should i buy this 720?

[82Datsun]

I just got an email from a guy with a 1982 Datsun 720 he told me he'd let it go for $400 (needs a clutch) but im not sure if I should purchase it. Here are some pics of the 720. It's lifted 5" and has offroad tires on it (31x10.50). Then engine only has 165K on it, with a recently replaced carb. It's a 4 speed manual 4x4.






Tell me what you guys think.

well it doesn't look to be in too bad of condition... i'd say if you know how to do the clutch then do it... $400 is a good price

Yeah i can replace the clutch no problem. I forget to mention that the bed has a huge crack in it. The bed is almost split apart. I'd have to get that welded.

Gonna bump this up. Come on people.

If it were me, I'd rather spend a little more more and get something cleaner.

So i should stay away or no?

At 400, maybe best to stay away unless you're looking for a project. Projects take time and money. If you got both go for it.
