Yes, That sounds like something that I would be very interested in. Before I come and look at the car I would like to ensure that it is not rusty. Could you send me some pictures of the car. Please include some close up pictures of the rear wheel wells and bottoms of the doors. I would also like to see some general pictures of the interior, engine compartment and damaged areas of the body. You can send the pictures to me directly at: jnlissa@wctc.net Thanks for the reply and if I like what I see I would be able to come and look at it on Thursday.
UPDATE: the headers and y pipe are installed!!! also picked up a good and drivers side fender for it this weekend. lots of extra parts to go with this car. there isnt ANY rust on the outside at all and the bottom of doors are pretty flawless as well. the undercarage has surface rust of course from being in wisconsin but you find my a car this old that doesnt look like that right?

I have found that the definition of "surface rust" varies alot. I would like to see some detailed pictures before I drive two and a half hours to look at it. I have wasted a lot of time looking at cars that are going to cost more to fix than they are worth. If any of the seams in the fender wells or door bottoms are rusting enough that they are starting to seperate, its more than I want to fix. Otherwise, your car sounds like just what I'm looking for. Please send some pictures. By the way, do you have an asking price?
id hate for you to drive all this way with the gas prices these days and end up saying no deal. im looking for a trade with something mor than a sale, i need a car to drive.
