It appears a member is already bidding on this one.
Interesting comment about the driver's doorlock - mine had this and the bootiful STL one I looked at 2 weeks ago had an identical problem - but easily solvable, as the operating rod had just disengaged from lock - wonder how many other people have had this problem?
That nice car went to someone from Omaha.

Same here... I also have the same problem with the passenger door. I plan to fix it someday.

This car doesn't look bad except the rust on the hatch does degrade the appearance slightly. I noticed that the alternator looks new and I don't see a regulator so maybe it has the alternator with the built-in regulator?

Had a problem with the drivers door handle that caused it to jam that I could fix temporarily with just tapping the door just above the handle, There is a small rod that goes from lock to handle.

Finally I actually fixed it in about half an hour there is an adjuster on the rod that goes to the handle that you just need to rotate for a better fit, it's probably the same with the rod from the lock barrel to the latch.

Just be careful with those little plastic clips that hold the interior door trim if there not lined up well when you put the trim back on they can break off easy.. and no one wants loose trim :)

well found out the reserve price is $800. So too rich for me as burning that much oil it prob needs a rebuild or at least the heads redone. If someone here plans on bidding I could pick it up and store or deliver it for a fee
