Car has been off the road for 10 years. Starts right up, runs and drives around the parking lot, but I would not suggest driving it any distance without a thorough going through. Recent service included tune up, fresh gas, oil change, and fuel pump. The unibody is pretty solid, and the upper body panels, doors, hood, and trunk are in good shape, but there is some rust on the lower fenders, floor sections, and rockers. Gearbox works fine, but sometimes makes a funky sound in reverse. Speedometer sticks so I have no idea how many miles are on the car.
Clean Massachusetts title, I will provide the VIN when I have a chance to look it up!
