89 for sale soon

[Bocote]

I figured I'd offer my reatta here first just incase anyone needs/wants it. Basically its been a great car over the years and I'd like to keep it as it runs very well, but I am moving to Poland soon and won't need a car. Its very straight and is pretty much original, but it has many of the normal reatta problems and some major interior issues. [see below]

The carpet is bad and headliner is missing. The driver door panel is warped badly. Headlights are bad and windshield cracked. It would seem to me that this car would make a good driving parts car or a wonderful project car as the body and underside is in great shape and is mechanically strong.

I'm asking $1000 or best offer.

Most recently I drove from Maine to Ohio without problems and have never had a breakdown in the car; I've owned it for about 10 years. I've done all repairs and upkeep to the car and have replaced some parts. The fuel pump, ECM, MAP sensor, O2 sensor, alternator, starter, flywheel, ignition module (next to battery), and other minor parts were replaced by me (except for fuel pump). I always parked the car in the back of the lots to prevent fat people from dinging the metal.
