VIN says San Jose, 289. It has the center console, automatic transmission, very minimal rust, frame & body are straight. I'll have to get back to you on the rest... once I build out the to do list. More photos when it's not raining.

That's a straight old car!
You mind telling is what you gave for it?
I would start with the interior....everything on the outside looks pretty great in the pics. Are numbers matching?

2. Get it driving right - this season
3. Interior - next season
4. Exterior - season 3
5. Accessories - season 4
