Someone out there I am sure must be interested in this car. I subscribe to an online estate auction in VA and this listing was emailed to me. I believe they were discontinued in 1981 so the year must be a
mistake. You can tell they have no idea what they are listing since they call it a 4 door sedan.

I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

I'd seriousl;y consider buying it as a long-term project but I don't have any more room.
Anyone want to store it if I buy it to save it?
