What are your thoughts

Personally I'd go for the Grandma car, needs some work to bring it up to scratch but it does look to be a pretty honest car and best of all it has its ID tags.

Not to say the white LC isn't a good car but who knows what is under that shiny new paint and it looks to be missing its VIN tag and Body Tag.

The choice is yours but think of the learning experience and the frustration fun you can have doing the old girl up.
Better get a job though to support the new habit.

Cheers
Dave.

Thought I should also point out the Grandma LC doesn't have a heater/demister and it has non power assisted drum brakes all round.

I would buy the grandma car, known starting point, original retains value
if you want to mod a lot can be done with $4000
disc brakes and fan heater would be good start

[Toranamat69]

LC heaters are crap anyway and front discs are easy to fit - lots of nice upgrades available as well for similar $$ to what rebuilt standard LC discs would cost

This 1973 LJ SL 173 auto looks and sounds to be a good 1st car and project.
