Apparentlly, sat outside for 15 years under a tarp in Virginia. Two owners prior got it to restore with his son, and they had it on track but then the body/paint issue soured their experience.

W72, WS6, AC, power locks and windows. Appears to be original drivetrain. Ordered without the radio. It wasn't for sale when I joined the FB Y88 group and threw a post out there about my interest in buying a solid car. The guy I ended up buying from reached out to me. Was over 9 months before we made the deal. He didn't have it on the market for sale but was motivated to move it. I win.

Big risk driving it 1300 miles but it paid off! Motor leaks a tad and eats some oil. Need to sort out the little stuff but I did well and am very pleased. My brother's in-laws aren't far from the seller and they visit often so I'll get those rims.
