looks rough i know...
mainly needs serious interior work
P.O said car was running hot because of a bad thermostat.. and car was parked for about 8 months...

got it home and checked plugs and changed oil .. everything looked fine..

..had to swap out the fuel pump and looked like all i needed was a new radiator and a driver's door latch..

but after I was able to get it running .. the headgasket crapped out .. i now have milky oil and plumes of white smoke..

at least the brakes, rearend, power steering and tranny are all still in good nick!

Good luck man..... Jesus that thing is a mess, but I'm sure you can get it cleaned up and running right.

BTW I love the sign on the back of the tow truck

Oh man. It's in real bad shape. But the good thing is it's not hopeless.
And if you've got it for a good price there's no problem. :)
