The interior is mostly good but needs a serious cleaning and steaming clean. Not sure the trunk carpet is savable though.

Whoever buys it it looks like a really good base to start from. If it was not so far away I'd be interested!

Im good at cleaning cars. But this one will test my skills. I'm going to buy a steamer. For protection I already have heavy duty door covers. I have seat covers in my Amazon cart. I'm going to keep my eyes out for junkyard 855s. Speaking of which. I need to look at the Colorado and Kansas junkyards. Maybe a score is to be had.....

My mechanic buddy is on a trip to the west coast. I said to him to take a very large suitcase or 2 so he could pick up a bunch of goodies I had seen for sale in that area, including a really nice set of Volan rims with tires. He laughed but didn't take me up on my request. Apparently his wife was not up for parts shopping on their trip!

People never get the description wrong on FBM and other media surely. Is that why the C30 my buddy and I went to see did not include the fact it had heavy hail damage and cracked windshield that was masked by the pictures and not declared?

Can you please lift that rubber up with your finger and take a picture of what's underneath? Because of the rust issue that came up when peeling that back on my red wagon, I have anxiety about yours now. Lol

Okay, so yeah, after all of this, I'm sorry. I don't think with being on Social Security and all that, that I can risk an expensive rust repair if that's what it turns out to be. The one I dealt with here was pretty bad. I'm worried about getting another case of that.

Ok is pretty dry isn’t it? That can wait for many , many years - unlike a red 850R wagon.
