Too many projects, so something has to go. I have carpet and seats out of a Milano I was going to put in this car. Body is in really good shape. Rust on top and trunk, but no holes. Previous owner told me he rebuilt the transaxle shortly before he parked it 10+ years ago. I installed a fuel pump with extra filter, new oil and filter, and I flushed the coolant system. The car starts when you spray some starting fluid in the intake. The cold start solenoid does not work. I have one that does. Other than the cold start, the spica is functional. I do have a brief video of the engine running. It is missing the door panels. I do have handles and window cranks in a box somewhere. Tires are old but do hold air. Also missing is the airbox, but I have some aftermarket cold air intakes for it. I need to dig them out of a box as well.

Update. It does have a salvage title. I was told by the previous owner this was done in Texas in the early 80's. The title transferred this way to New Mexico where this car stayed for 30+ years. Not sure if this is a deal breaker depending what your plans are. Make an offer. Trying to save this one from the scrap yard.

Depending on the State, salvage titles often don't mean much. Our 86 GTV6 ended up with a salvage title after it was hit by a motor home that didn't have brakes. The insurance totaled it out, and we bought it back with a salvage title. Had it easily fixed, was just a right front fender damaged, and the State authorities inspected it and said , cool, go for it, it's fine with a regular title again.
