I haven't seen this stripe package on a car before, anyone know if this was a factory option?
Looks rough, after market alloys... Burried in Snow, may be a job for Bryan Thompson ;)

i have seen similar stripes on some t4s but oddly enough, they are generally 87 DLX auto trans models. i assumed it was a dealership thing but who knows.

i recognize those wheels but am not sure what they're from. VW possibly, like a rabbit or something like that? i think that's it. oh here we go, i'm right!

nice battery tie down. the ad mentions body damage to the front right but no pic of it, unfortunately. there is also a dent on the rear right corner, right on the marker light. doesn't look very rusty though. might be worth saving.

likely had the timing belt break, so the distributor does not turn and no spark. No matter, likely it is an easy fix, no matter the cause.

high miles, seems a bit high for a beat up non-runner with that many miles on it.
