Seems reasonably clean-ish, the disk drum brakes, I swear to God I thought I typed drum brakes, are photographed so that people who know what they’re looking at will know what they’re looking at, the seats need some work, likewise maybe the exterior paint and the windows are smudged so much that when you park construction equipment next to it it looks like something’s on fire.

My dad had one.

Ho bought it from an old won who called it her “xratty”

That weird font messed with her.

That speedometer is hilarious. IIRC, the story was that 85 mph was the maximum speed that the gauge could display, so this was the solution. I’ve never seen one of these old gauges that had so much >85 empty space.

Yep - at some point in the 80s it was required by law that the speedometer only go up to 85 (because then nobody will speed!) and, of course, ways around it were quickly figured out.
