How long is a piece of string , pretty hard to know without knowing the hole picture , it could be worth nothing it could be worth $20,000.
Whats the body like , rust ? , which body kit ? , what running gear , condition of running gear , interior , overall appreance , lots of big questions in a Baja sorry , and as the oldies say a picture is worth a thousand words

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

what does it matter if you don't have the money its not worth wasting peoples time...
if you want an early baja, cut up an early car, if you want to f@#k a ghia flare the guards and change the indicators, if you want something do it your way... don't be told by others
there is only one person to please

Thanks for your reply's I decided to pass on the 58, in the long run I think it was too dear for what I wanted. I think I will look for a '69 from what I have read with irs rear should be better for my needs.
