This is well preserved including, wheel wells and floors as it was heavily rust proofed, and anysurface only rust in painted areas that started back inthe 80s was coated with a chemical that stops rust, so most spots you see are the dark chemical, or primer, or some newer surface only rust.

Told you what I know. You are welcome to have it all inspected prior to purchase, plus do a compression test on motor, I am sure it would be great with low miles. Have not had a tune it up, but seems to run fine without missing, been sitting in heated garages since 1990 and taken out only for emissions once per year, and no longer required as it became antique status, always started right up with a charge, added stable to gas to prevent lacquer. Stopped driving it after purchase of my new car in March of 1990. I had it as original owner since 78. Sold as is, so haveBronco inspected before you take her, I don't know everything about auto's and cannot list every little thing either. I have nothing to hide and want a win win, I prefer a local buyer.
Vehicle is for sale locally and I cannot guarantee availability until balance paid in fullin cash only within 72 hours.Also it may sell locally simultaneously with your order here,before I can pull this listing down.
Thank You.
