Notes:
Runs, will move, transmission is leaking (I'm guessing a line or dipstick tube because it's coming from the passenger side).  This does not have the Teletouch shifter, it is a regular column shift (I'm told one of 700).  Carb needs cleaning, rebuilt motor 2 years ago and has only been parked since.  Picture is current.  Last registered and driven 2004.  Tires were purchased new in 2004 and are still like new except a little fading of the ww.  The brake linings as well as the lines were replaced along with a rebuilt master/brake booster and all front end bushings.  Good restorable condition.  Rust on one rear quarter, front fender battery box, and it needs a heater core.  Paint is not original and is faded, chrome is stainless steel and most is really good, interior needs some work; seat torn, dashpad has come apart, carpet faded, 2 or 3 small tears/holes in headliner.  I have over 5k invested but lost storage, time, money, etc.
