Details
I picked up this car from another GRM member about a year and a half (Link) ago with intentions to bring it to the 2020 Challenge but then 2020 happened and my plans changed a bit.  I fixed most of the issues Greg was having with the car and started using it as a fun driver and weekend car rather than a low budget racer.  Plenty of other maintenance was done over the last year as well: deep cleaning, rear brakes, differential fluid, motorcraft fluid for the transmission, fresh coolant expansion tank, valve cover gasket, replaced rocker panel covers and removed factory ground effects. etc.    

Quick run down of the highlights: 6spd Manual Transmission, Leather Seats, Factory HID lights, Top is good, and A/C works. High mileage car (209k) with some wear all around and in good condition. No warning lights or service needed. Has a nice set of Continental summer tires. Currently inspected and ready for summer.

Somebody please buy this.  I do not have the room in my driveway, but it is still tempting, especially since I could sell my NA to cover some of the cost.

Yeah same. I was just thinking about how I should sell off my old junk to get something actually good, and then this pops up...

I'm not specifically looking for any trades at the moment, but if something interesting comes up I might need to reconsider.

I doubt this will last long before selling, but in a month or two I'd be interested.

What's the underside look like?  Any northeast winter driving in the salt?

It has seen some winter use before I picked it up, but no major issues underneath.  The body shell has good rust protection, and the rockers are way better than a winter driven NA or NB.  Light rust on the suspension components.  It even has the original exhaust from what I can tell.
