Engine's blown and interior's probably roached. Body looks great from the pics. One of 1,029?

Why the hell did they park it with the window down?
Not a bad price though.

The power window motor or regulator probably messed up and they didn't bother to put a tarp or.anything over it. How sad.
That's about 2 hours away from me. I don't like dealing with emails... Sucks they didn't post a phone number or else I would go take a look at it.

The floor plan on that is probably rusted to hell with the rain pouring inside. Too bad too cause the car looks sharp otherwise.

Anything that sits in a field like that sorry but it's going to be rusted on the underside no question about it.

I'm trying it's only 8 hours away, when he emails me back I'm gonna have him get a new title through
www.getnewtitle.com then I'll be golden to get it and fix it up those gts with that package are rare and you don't see too many if any at all, I'm pretty sure being from Delaware the underneath is cleaner than up here in northwest, Pa

It's delaware, ohio, north of columbus. I'm about 40 minutes from there. I could go look at it for you, but not until this weekend.
If I had a disposable 300 bucks, and the ability to replace the engine and source a new interior, I'd give him 325 and tell him to go buy a car cover for me. Unless he wanted it off his property, I'd let it sit there until I could get a plan together.
As for rust, I'm sure wet carpet could enhance the chemical reaction, but IIRC the interior is galvanized and painted as well, and for all we know, he could have parked it last week. No way to tell until its gone over, inside and underneath.
I posted it because I figured it was pretty special, 1,029 of that color and I'm sure a ton less with that package, but for 300, there's the wheels and the 5 speed.

I have the money just no trailer hitch on the bird to tow it yet I really don't wanna tow it with a bad torque converter because I'll only have 3 gears but it's so close to me

How do you know it's a 5 speed?

I thought I read that the W26's were 5 speed only. Upon further review, I am an idiot. I have no idea.

I could have swore the ad said "no title", but he replied back and said it has a clean title I must have read it wrong

and I'm going to look at it this Saturday getting an early start at 6 on the highway, bringing cash with me and if it's for me I'm gonna buy her
