I checked this car out last weekend when it was up for sale for $2500. I took many pictures of the car. There are small dents all over the car with two good sized dents in both rear quarters. This car does need a full restoration. Has a tilt column(demolished due to no keys), premium stereo, 5.0, 4 speed etc. Has not been registered since Feb 03 per the plates. No title due to the owner passing away with the car being in storage.

Could not find the buck tag either on the core support or behind the driver side headlight.
THANK GOD! That is not a T-top car or even a solid roof. Otherwise I might do something really STUPID!

Was it truly in RUST FREE condition (all the usual areas) as described? Is it a factory sunroof or aftermarket?

This is an Arizona car. It really is a rust free car and the sunroof is factory. The drain tubs are still there and all. Arizona cars biggest issue is dry rot of all plastic and rubber parts.
Great car to restore but definitely a new go in my state without title.

I would love to grab this car, or something similar to restore over time. But being 2000 miles away is kind of cost prohibitive. And I don't want it bad enough to travel 50 hrs round trip to lug it home.

That would be because I very likely have the tag somewhere. Mick has it recorded, I believe.
I know the name of the 2nd owner of this car, and quite a bit of the car's history. She bought it as almost-new in about 1983, if I remember correctly, in Illinois.
She was also the last known-to-me legal owner of this car as of a few years ago. I searched for an obituary in her name, but found none. If she has died, that is sad news, but she has a very unusual name and I would have expected to see something pop up. Perhaps not.
Yes I have a pic of the buck tag and it is in the database.
