I offered him $5000 and he took it. It's a little more than I wanted to pay, but it's a solid rust free car and I know it's entire history. It won't ta much to make it a reliable driver and I'll just wax the original paint. I'll post pics tomorrow.

The 1977 is the very finest year to own--my personal favorite--congrats!
