The car has been well preserved ever since only acquiring 71,573 miles from the day it was new. It was used regularly for a few years until it was repainted the original light green metallic in 1984. It was then stored for the majority of its life.

                This will make someone a great car to show, cruise, or just as a daily driver. This car just traveled on a 250 mile road trip to the Car Craft Summer Nationals in St. Paul MN and ran flawlessly. It got an average of 19.5 MPG including idle time and slow car cruising with A/C on. Only a few small things to consider. Heater core has been bypassed due to a small leak. Gas gauge is stuck on full. These are relatively simple items to repair for someone mechanically inclined. This car is being listed with no reserve, and with a "Buy it Now".
