  1. Having looked at this car, while itself a nice looking ride as far as body style goes, and one of the better looking GM vehicles of the period, this one requires way more than it appears to need at first glance. I think the ONLY saving grace here is the frame hasn't been totally rotted out, in fact, it's still largely intact and solid, the body, not so much. Being that it began life as a local car to Bradenton area, then up in Michigan, it's got rust from both top and bottom. Top from being exposed to the salt air if it's been on the beaches enough times or has lived ON the beach for a while, but not well kept rinsed over time. Then it's been salted among the bottom side by being in the rust belt before coming back here. It almost requires a clean total body replacement, seeing how rotted out the windshield is, and the bubbling/rust showing on other parts of the roof and A pillars. Likely some of the upper structure may be compromised. Anyway, would be good to know the outcome of this one. It's a cool car I agree. Totally agree, the car likely has 170+K and smoking and badly leaking from many orifices. BTW, love your descriptions and word usage, not to mention your goofy sense of humor.

  2. No, this is a one owner vehicle. Though Ray DID say, it was weight reduced, which IS a VGG saying. Derick gets around fer sher.
