Update (07/31/2012): the sofa has landed! It's all final now and I drove the car home tonight.
I saw this car sitting at a used car lot. From afar, it looked pristine. Up close, it has some rust issues on both rear sides. Yet it has been completely spared rotted out floor pans and the frame looks as though it were new. I suspect it lived indoors most of the time.
It's something of a "land barge", but I sure wish there was a modern car this roomy and comfortable! Notice the awesomely huge dash pad? While not much on handling, I don't really care. I'll bet it can outmaneuver the Heep if needed! (We're not going to try. This car is going to be treated very respectfully.)
Having very scientifically floorboarded the gas pedal, I can assure you that the 350 V8 gets the attached barge moving right along, impressively so.
The interior is immaculate. Even the headliner is still perfect. I know this belonged to an older person, as there was a retirement home parking permit sticker on the rear glass.
I want one of these GM B-bodies so badly, but the rust damage has kind of put me off of this one, especially since I can see the spare tire from outside! Other than an exhaust leak and maybe some slightly mushy brakes, this thing could have potential.
And what do you know, iMovie '09 is good for something after all! I knew there was a reason I hadn't deleted it from the hard disk.
