I'd buy it.
1978 Plymouth Horizon Wood Panel
Own a piece of Chrysler history for pennies! This is a one of 227 original wood panel Horizons made between '78 and '79. The wood panel cars were a promotional item sent to dealers to have on the showroom floor to introduce the new economy car to the world. This one is a rare bird; it's completely loaded to the hills, has factory AC, stereo FM, rear defogger, rear wiper, roof rack, but it's a four speed manual! Odometer shows 60,000. I don't know if it's 160,000 though. It's a five digit deal.
I guarantee this is the one and only wood panel Horizon you will ever see in your life. Do a google images search for this particular car: the only pictures you'll find are promotional brochures, yet you'll never see another one in the wild. These are a super rare car.
Down to the nitty gritty. It's a 40 year old economy car. It likely won't be reliable enough for a daily driver. I wouldn't put your 16 year old daughter in it for a first car. It's got patina. There's a rust hole starting on the floor pan up by the driver's left foot, but it has no structural rust. I drive it and it's fine.
The interior is absolutely stunning, except for the carpet which has suffered from UV exposure and has rotted over the years. The shifter linkage is tricky. It has nuances. It's cheap, though. Parts are absolutely still available for these cars and they're cheap!
