Looks to be a hell of a deal. What's the mileage and overall condition.

Yeah definitely a good deal if it runs, has a clear title, and not one of the many new flood cars that are hitting the market. Curious about the rest of the condition, mileage, maintenance, any problems...

That is a good deal, the question now is how much is it going to take to put it in a reliable DD condition, We all know with high mileage you always have to do some maintenance work to make it reliable. Unless you get lucky and you buy it from a guy that really cared for it.

Has 137k miles, regular maintenance done thru 100k Then they didn’t use it as much. Little rust in rear drivers side quarter.. exhaust leak when accelerating. Believe it’s the rear of the drivers manifold but seems well kept,

Pretty common with the exhaust manifolds. Bolts tend to snap. Most leaks go away when warmed up.

Do they climb in/out of the back to get it in that spot? I am claustrophobic just looking at it ha!
