New 88...the little old lady from vanc story

Just bought this the other day (price was very very good!)

Was owned by a lady who turned 80 and gave up her drivers licence...her son just wanted it gone...(think they were moving)

This beauty only has 168' original km's...body and interior are near mint...motor runs good ect...it's just 2.3L auto...but will make a nice gas saving winter car (vanc mild winters so no worries)

only issues
-mild trans leak (fixed today)
-speedometer cable needs replacing
-fuel pump has that annoying fox body humm as they get old...so will replace in future also...

pics:

Beautiful!

How long until the 347 stroker finds it way under your hood?

I give you 9 months before the engine swap fever begins.

Looks in great shape for sure. Personally I'd put a nice pair of ponys on it and keep the stock caps. Other than that it will be a great cheap around town car.
