I'm seriously considering, but regardless I know it will go to a very lucky forum member. Same color as my old sedan, but in much better condition.
Any rips/sags in the front seats? What's the blowby situation, and how are the rear axle boots?

I have a great source on enclosed shipping. Recently used them for a 1100 miles trip and it only cost $500.00. You can also put an ad at Uship.com, or I can if you would like. Starting zip code would be 67206.
The MB-Tex seats do not have any tears, and I did rectify the sagginess below with a pool noodle treatment. I also went beyond that, reinforcing aging horsehair pad with memory foam, on both the front and back seats. With the sheepskin covers, its very comfortable.
The blowby is minimal, same goes for the oil consumption. I've never had to top off between oil changes, and it has always started on the coldest day. The axle boots are original, but in good condition. No leaks, seepage, anything like that.
I do have the service records for everything I've done, along with the dealer stamp maintenance book which corroborates with the original owner's tenure with the car. (about 2001 and 120k) It was then that Ellen Masterson gave the car to her son, who sold it to the guy I bought it from. The owner before me was a tractor mechanic, and did his own maintenence. The car spent most of its life in Texas.
Here is a photo of the interior before I rectified the sagginess with the pool noodle and memory foam. As you can see, it wasn't that bad at all. The pinkamino isn't extreme either, but one of the to do items on this car was a leatherique redying treatment.
