It is an older model - if the glass is a rectangle, then it is 1984-1985 , if glass has arch, it is 85-90
Personally, I would not want to pay that much for it. At the time, it probably sold for $569 (1985) to $869 (1990).
Perhaps if it was 100% perfect and newer unit (made in USA, not taiwan), and had a new catalytic converter in it, it might be worth that....but in "as is" condition, I would not consider it.
Note: any pre-vc models will have "taiwan" cast into the back, and newer models have Made in USA in casting or on label (or both)
