You couldn't pay me $9999 to daily drive than POS. The automatic would kill all of the soul it does not have. At least it has power steering.
Depends on how long they're willing to sit on it waiting for the right buyer - who is out there somewhere. Sure, the price is high, but find another one in similar condition.
It's probably worth it based on rarity alone. Given that most of those cars rusted into the ground before the end of the disco era, there can't be more than a few dozen left.
Those sure are nice looking, but dang ... my parent's brand new '74 GT rusted out the front fenders by the end of its second Wisconsin winter, and blew the motor shortly after that. GM bought it back shortly thereafter, which prompted them to buy a base model new '76 Vette. As in Chevette .
Don't forget the melting engines. I remember a couple of people that barely made the odo in the 4 digit range before the engine melted (melting being a bit of an exaggeration but it is how it was described)
My mom loves to tell of her Vega that her parent's bought her as a high school graduation gift. It was a 70 or 71(I forget) and by 1977 it was dead. It burned 1qt of oil per tank of gas, spark plugs every oil change and the floors rusted out completely. The driver side door sill gave out when she stood on it one day.
If I really wanted a Vega, I'd look for something else in crappy shape, but still straight, and put my own modern drivetrain in it.
The super low miles and original condition will drive up the price, but being a notchback with an automatic transmission doesn't help its desirability.
