Already posted it in the right spot, but it is nice to look at.
Presence of the window sticker might mean original owner, but not claimed. $7k ask, 265k showing.

The owner responded to my email in minutes - literally - and said the donor car transmission had 60k on it, but didn't say how long ago he did the swap. Even the wood trim on the console has survived.
That dash pad makes me sick.
