gaskets?
Manfold gaskets? I thoght Chrysler products didn't use any,
at least, the 60's cars don't have them. These years usually have an annoying
tick from a bad heat riser.

exhaust leak is probably the manifold gaskets; about $100
each side to do..A/C..if you want it done right probably 900-1100;have no
idea on body work..point is most buyers would deduct this off asking
price so try 1750-2000 and give him 2300 if you really want it..just be
prepared to put $ into it and figure that into your total
outlay.JMHO...good luck! and if you get it and it turns out to be a good
one call me when you are ready to sell..love the 2drs...
