https://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/5599549722.html
Weber - nice interior - quite a bit of rust outside - 13 pix - has inclinometer - removed AC - 157k miles - sort of lemon color (I don't think I've seen this color before).
While this is on the Des Moines CL, Marne is actually about 50 miles NE of Council Bluffs and perhaps 60 miles West of Des Moines.
Hey Chris , this is about 50 miles North of you, up US 71!

I think it is the faded Cream like Petro's daily.

A little high for the rust, I think.

Also, I use the AC in my 87 FWD and it doesn't harm it that much except up a hill.

nice wheels, looks like a decent deal if the rust is not through out the car.

The pictures look like surface rust that can mostly be fixed, but if it is more extensive than it appears in the pics, that price is way too high, no matter the mechanical condition.

Hey Tom,

It is directly north, but just over 100 miles. I'll have to wait for carb issues to consider the weber conversion, as the stock carb on my car is working/driving great. After reading so many complaints about performance, I'm often surprised when that little1.5 revs right to 4K and drags along nicely. Of course the 4.11 gears help and it still travels the highway fine in my opinion. Which is good, as I have plenty of rust to play with when I have time. Honestly though, I bet I could put 100k miles on it in the next 4+ years without any rust repair. Of course, I hope to drive it longer/further than that, so I will address structural issues I find. Plus, I do want to play in the snow and mud some, which will put more stress on everything.

Chris
