Sorry went back and looked at interior pictures again. Seems basic spec. No 4C or flip in Mirrors. That might actually be a bonus!

Bricks don't seem to get much action here.

Somebody please buy this!
Made just over $8k last night, might not be a bad number if the dealer was to be believed about 'minimal rust'

Then there's this,

Auctioneeers note says "possible fuel pump", ignoring a small issue around the coolant tank.
Cool color.
Couldn't trick it into loading a pic though.

Be still my beating heart. That color, oh that color.

431 Aqua blue metallic?
415 Fjord blue?

I'd put that in my shed and take my time building a 2.3 with a big turbo to put in it.
