Whoah! Passenger got some ride by looking at the seats! Compared to driver. Usually other way around.

Betcha there isn't a single thing that car won't need, and then some. Somebody looking for a 3 year project might take it on, though.

I bet he'd let it go really cheap, if anyone is looking to do a manual conversion for some reason...

Looking at this one, again, makes me happy I don't have a beige interior in any of my cars. It looks so nice off the showroom floor, and like this 2 decades later. ..

That's no miles for a P80 chassis, and if it's been a California resident its whole life it shouldn't have hateful underthings.
Interesting they use the manual conversion parts pitch; it would be an Abscate Rescue candidate on the East Coast.

That is even worse than the 79 245 I bought after 9 previous careless owners! Even the seats were not that bad!
