Default Is it worth my time?

http://knoxville.craigslist.org/car/637340665.html

I just got off the phone with him. he stated that it cranks over just fine. Said it wasnt getting spark from the coil. Seem's to me this is an easy fix with just a new coilpack. Could there be something else major wrong with this?
Thanks guys.

It does look pretty beat up, go look at it and low ball him, if its something simple you could turn around and sell it for a nice profit.

Thats what im wondering. he said it wasnt getting spark from the coil, could this just be a bad coil pack? or something major?
