Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

OK, looking at it closer, it does look like rear tailgate has rust in middle center and then painted over again. Rear window either doesn't go all the way up or isn't sealing. I see either duct tape around top and then in back inside, I see some sort of wedge. That tells me he has had leaks of some sort. Looks real good in the back inside and outside for rust....especially if the rear top has not been sealing properly.

Engine looks original and correct (abs module on master cylinder), dash looks like it has some type of rough, aftermarket type of "cap" on it, and then screwed down to the original dash (side, driver's view).

If he is also supplying extra Fenders and inner fenders, that can only tell me there is rust in there and he was planning to replace at some point. Why would he have them otherwise.

Speedo looks era correct.

3.42 gears are stock and not a power monster by any means. So any larger tire, and it will be a little sluggish. I ran 31's or 32's with 3.42's.

Just my thoughts.
