Good god, that car is pretty. Makes mine look like a load of crap. Think it's up for a drive to a new home in WI?

Thanks!  The paint is actually in good shape for the most part, could use some claybar, polish and wax...and that front fender repainted or replaced.  

The interior needs a complete cleaning from the headliner down.  Since I took the above linked pictures I actually cut the original carpet out because it was beyond saving...and the seats need upholstery obviously, but I can tell you both seats are solid and all adjustment functions work perfectly.

Man, Wisconsin!  That's a long trip!  I can't say that I feel confident it would make that trip without any issues because honestly I just don't know...because it had a damaged transmission (that I just had replaced to the tune of $650) I haven't been able to drive it and I don't keep it registered/tagged.  PM me if you want to try to work something out where you fly down, rent a truck and trailer and tow it home...I don't know, maybe we can strike a deal...not sure how much that would cost all-in.   It's OBO!

As far as mileage, I believe the odo stopped at 145kish, somewhere around there...BUT...the engine has had some work, I found receipts in the glove box for crankshaft bearings and piston rings...also the timing cover has been off and the profile gasket has been replaced.  Unfortunately I don't know the history of the car, but you can tell someone put a lot of work into it.

Also, it's a Florida car...almost NO RUST!  I can only find one SMALL spot of rust along the bottom edge of the driver's rear bumper apron...that's really about it.  A little of that rust residue in the jack well in the trunk.

I do have a brother in law in orlando... He could conceivably arrange shipping. Between your car and mine, there could be one GORGEOUS car.  We're trying to buy a house, but the next week or so will bring me my answer on this.  If you sell it in the meantime, great, but I'll be keeping on eye on it. The midwest was hard on mine, and it was not well cared for before I got it.
