I love the red interior. I mean, how many cars have that anymore?

So besides the door dent, what’s the issue? Is it rotted?

It’s my favorite color combo! I really hate to part it but it’s too rusty to bother with.

There is rust everywhere. On every panel. The floor beneath the rear “seat” area is completely gone, lots of structural rust up front. And the brakes do not work, hence the door dent. The PO let it roll off a trailer with the door open into a fence.

It seems people are often surprised by the ability for 3500 lbs to roll. Sad.

Well, hopefully it will help save many others.

It does not. I tried to jump it off... it spins over fine but never got it to start. It hasn't been on the road in several years per the PO.
