Hey all, recently found a really clean, running 79 Special (the one with the mags) with pink slip and all, and was curious what ya'll think a reasonable price to pay for it might be? The guy is asking 2600 for it, but I feel like I generally see them lingering around craigslist till they hit 2200 or so. It has a clean title and seems well maintained. The odometer is at around 45,000 (the seller claims it's actually lower, but who can say) and it's around Los Angeles.
Also, I was wondering how difficult it is to swap out those mags for spoked rims? I know there's a ton of posts on it, but I'm wondering if the rear disc would be problematic to deal with if I swapped it out with an earlier model that used a drum brake?
