Runs good, car needs Paint & Interior work.

Pictures available upon request.

Appreciate opinions.

I love the "EZ restoration" comment. Used a lot by folks who have never restored anything.

Looks like a solid starting point though, It goes beyond paint and interior. I would expect to have to invest 8-12K over the cost of the car to bring it to 2-3 condition.

Yup. Nothing "EZ" about restoring these cars. GM A Body, maybe, but not C Bodies. It's not like you can open a catalog and buy everything you need.

That is one sharp looking car for a thousand bucks.

I would think the price is negotiable. It looks like a complete car which is what you want. I would inspect under carpet and under side of course. Something looks bubbly at the waist trim on the right side. if there's rust there it's probably pretty rusty under it.

I received some additional photos and unfortunately quite a bit more rust than I want to tackle. The search continues . . . most interested in fuselage bodies so send leads my way. Many thanks, Darren
