    I'd like to ask that you call the owner first and talk to them about the car. If it still sounds like something you are interested in then send me a PM and I'll go take a look and send you more pictures.

    I will be out of town on Friday, checking out 3000+ cars at the "Back to the 50s" show in St. Paul, MN.

    I would be able to look at the car on Saturday or Sunday, assuming the owner is available.

    Thanks!

    I got a chance to go and look at this car today. I did take several pictures, but the short story is it is a typical MN car.

    The frame has 1+ foot long patches on both sides just in front of the rear wheel wells, rear wheel wells are rusted through and starting to come apart in the the trunk area as well. Front fenders are rusted through as well. Rust was coming out behind the rear bumper along the body seam. The floor was coming apart in the rear seat foot area on the passengers side.

    The good was the chrome was very nice including the grille, window trim, rear bezels, and both bumpers. Interior was very nice as well, including the dash pad and seat covers. Mechanically it was very sound, small 6 cyl engine had been rebuilt, auto trans, power steering, manual brake system had been redone including front lines, new alternator and voltage regulator, rebuilt carb, etc. Engine started easily and sounded quiet. Core support looked good, but I didn't remove battery to check under it. Passenger side of core support was all there are looked solid. Single exhaust was good and the car had new tires put on it last year. I did not drive it but had no doubts that it went down the road just fine.

    It even had the original T3 headlights on the passenger side, it had been hit on the drivers side and repaired some years ago at the dealer I was told. The top had small 3" splits in the lower rear corners, otherwise was very nice and functional.

    That's about all I remember, you can call the owner if you have more specific questions.
