Thumbs up Must part with my 1977 230 - only 4,900 miles

In 1977, I traded my 1974 450 SEL for a brand new 1977 230, which was the first year of the 123 body style. Because I had two other cars and I was always busy working, I never got a chance to drive the car. Now, here it is just about 30 years later and I never did really get to drive the car, because it has only 4,900 miles on it (that's right, four-thousand nine hundred, NOT 49,000 ). The car was garaged in NY for the first 18 years of its life and when I bought my house in Florida, I moved it down here by trailer and stored it in my garage here ever since.

Because of recent health problems, I going to be selling my home in Florida and don't have garage room in my current house in NY to store the car any longer, so after all these years, it must be sold. It was a tough decision, since it's been around for half my life, but it's time to face the reality that I never will get to drive the car.

If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Thanks,
Bruce

Pictures?

How about posting the pictures so we can the instantly view the relic without having to PM you and wait for an answer? I would sure like to see how a 77 with only 5K has weathered all the years in a garage!

If you post pics to this thread, you have a better chance of catching a prospective buyers eye! SOUNDS like it must be an amazing car.
