Yup! These are really nice driving cars. I've had multiple wagons for years and they really are nice. I love the 4 door lines too, the 2 door cars always looked strangely long to me while the 4 doors look just right.
This car has had undercoating applied to the floors and frame at some time in the past, it's flaking off but where I see the actual metal it's in good shape. There is one small spot on the rear floor pan with a dime sized hole, which means the rest of the floors probably have some pin holes too.
I have a set of power windows in the shed I'm going to install for this car too!
My motivation for getting it running is two-fold, I'm losing my house due to loss of job AND I'm relocating across the country for a new job. A runner is a much easier car to move than one that doesn't, especially on the giant hill that is my house.
