Pretty much like finding a clean 1979 Chevy Citation in your grannie's barn.
That would be valuable. The first model year was 1980. Arrived in late 1979.
I considered one as my first new car. When the salesman showed the feature that the hood could swing 90° up to allow the removal of the motor easier for service later, I politely walked away. That and the poor body panel fit, scary. BTW, the Southern Pacific made special freight cars to transport the vehicles to protect them. Doors folded down, the care was driven on and anchored, then a skip loader tilted the door closed, the car sat anchored nose down.

Bought a Datsun 210 and dove it for 11 years, near 200,000 miles then sold it off. Would have kept it if not for all the parking lot hits it collected. I swear that car had a target painted on it somewhere.

To the All-Pro, yes, Kmart. I suggest invest time elsewhere.
