Was VERY surprised to stumble across this tonight. I have a place up near Marquette, I can check it out for someone. 125K. No rust. Wow.

Good looking! Even has the luggage cover.
I like that stripe on the hood - never seen that before.

I'll be up in the UP this week, if anyone needs a set of well trained T4wd eyes. I have picture capability too (high tech and all) Someone here should buy it. How about that Canadian fella up in Ont? the UP is one bridge away.

Trying to be helpful! To people AND more importantly....a minty T4wd :)

Clearly this car is owned by a Yooper that goes south in the winter. If you have never been up there, here is a little humor about the place. BTW, I spent one winter up in Hancock attending what is now FU (Finlandia University, formerly Suomi College)

I have experienced this first hand and it is not fun.

Wow, that looks good! Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is there a strange scallop edge on the front of the hood, I've never seen a hood like that before, all mine have had flat-ish sheet metal on the leading edge of the hood. Was that an 83 thing?

Oh, wait, it WAS my bad eyes, that's a stripe across the front of the hood.... it matches the pinstripe running down the side.

Well, "Thanks" to this thread and keith, I have discovered a new music group: Da Yoopers.
This one has many cars from when I was in HS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilSgXcEMHmI Really!
Also until this thread, I had no idea what "Yooper" meant.

A trip to their "Tourist Trap" is on my bucket list, but you can bet your sweet bippy that it will be in the summer.

I heard those Yoopers songs on a local station that always specialized in weird old songs. I liked a lot of their fun songs, "da turdy point buck" is one of my favorites (I do not hunt, but know of many that do and it reminds me of them).
