This car was bought new by my father-in-law and we inherited it when he passed away. We had the rust repaired and the whole car re-painted in 2009, but it has reappeared and my wife says she won't put any more into it. It still runs and drives great, but there's a refrigerant leak in the A/C, so the air doesn't work. It would pass Pennsylvania inspection except for the rust, specifically the frame member and the passenger side rocker panels and floor pan. If you are a welder, you could do this yourself, and I would have except I can no longer get the waste vegetable oil for it. I converted the car in 2009 to run on waste vegetable oil, but I have removed the WVO equipment and tank for the sale, and returned it to factory config. Recent work includes a new steering box, a rebuilt climate control module, repairing the vacuum locking system, all new bushings in the front suspension, and some other front end work. The cruise control works, and the sunroof, tachometer, but the dashboard clock has stopped because the chrome cap fell off the oil pressure gauge and jammed the hands of the clock. The interior is in nice condition for a 33 year old car, no cracks rips or tears in the dashboard or the upholstery, except for a small area on the passenger seat edge. It has always been a non-smoking car from the beginning. The Becker Europa radio and cassette system works well, but cassettes play a bit slow, I don't know why. The power antenna motor runs but the antenna doesn't move, probably needs lubrication but I don't know that for a fact. The original First Aid Kit is unopened, and stowed in it's well on the rear shelf, and the original owner's manual is in the glove box. A third brake light was installed about the year 2000 to bring it up to date. The tires will pass state inspection as will the brakes and lights. The spare tire below the trunk floor is in good condition too. If you are from another state, you will be able to drive it home once the title is transferred, but Pennsylvania residents will have to have the car towed. A $100 deposit is required in 48 hrs, and the balance at time of title transfer. Cash, PayPal or cashier's check accepted, no credit cards.
