      Where in South Jersey are you located? Also in your description it states the car needs a driver seat, in the pictures it looks like both front seats are trashed.

      In any case, I am interested. I am in Philly

                I went to go see this car last week, unfortunately some problems have come up which led me not to post in a timely manner.

                Anyways both front seats need to be redone, although the leather is soft its worn pretty bad in places. Back seat looks in 7-10 shape front passenger has a long tear, and andrew said the drivers seats need to be replaced.

                I noticed the body is RUST FREE but it is not without it blemishes, the hood almost looks as if it was hit by hail, maybe 5 noticeable dings, and a crease on the passenger side rear quarter.

                The engine ran strong and id bet the compression is great, sounded really good, however it has an idling problem, and im not a mechanic by trade so take it for what you will.

                Overall the car is clean, especially for being in the northeast, I personally dont have the enthusiasm to bring this car back into its glory with the tough interior pieces and bodywork to make it pristine. With some money and time I see this being a very good starting point for as he said either a daily drivers with some minor engine work, or a project for a semi restoration. (the body might be able to be straightened with paintless dent repair, but then again you should see it yourself)

                    I havent had a chance to pinpoint it but its likely not a big deal. my bet is a loose or cracked vaccuum hose. Once I get sometime I will address it and let you guys know what I find.

                    the car isnt perfect by any means but it is a very nice unmolested car that has serious potential. This is a perfect car for someone who wants to start with something nice and make improvements along the way. I wouldnt hesitate to drive the car but with a young family it just doesnt make sense to keep it. the car is however registered/insured/inspected and I am driving it when I get opportunities.
