Description: Picked this up a little while ago from the original family down in Maryland. Was bought new by the grandmother in 1987 and have the original window sticker and bill of sale from that. She drove it until 1993 or 1994 then parked it in her garage when she gave up driving. The front end has some paint work from something she must of tapped back in the day because they spotted the fender and bumper. The family kept it in the garage until the late 2000's when the oldest grandson needed a car. He apparently needed driving lessons along with the car and had to get the right side of the car repainted. Shortly after that incident he caught another pole lightly on the right side and left the damage on it as you can see. His younger brother took over the car at that time and drove it with no incidents, but both grandsons did not have a garage. The gaskets and belt moldings have deteriorated at this time. I bought it with the thoughts of making a CSX clone because it's a solid P-body shell but going to sell it because I have 8 vehicles at this time that all need something.

Con's:
*body damage is still there on pass side
*some sections of the clear coat from the repairs is lifting in large spots (was going to repaint the entire car so it didn't bother me)
*I did have water in the trunk when I originally power washed it after bringing it home, bottom of the spare holder is pictured below though
*noticed some very slight rust bubbles in the one rocker, nothing through but want to be upfront
*does need a jump to fire up
*the front brakes are completely shot from the last owner letting it sit for too long outside (rusted solid)
*one turn signal is in-op
*has the typical headliner droop
*finally, I try to let this run once every other month. Back in August it was running for 30 minutes and just stalled for no reason. Has run since then, never dug into it because I was going to swap the drivetrain.
