Clear WI title w/ current tags. Factory power steering, Weber carb (w/ 1 piece adapter), brand new BFGs. Has had body work done in the past, some was good work, but needs some more. I'd call it a 20 footer...looks good from 20 feet away...no top (although I have all the windows for the hardtop including the vent ones). I do have the doors, but they're in rough shape at the bottoms. PO cut one of the tops off, he was going to make them into 1/2 doors. Interior is ok, bucket seats w/ shoulder belts, OEM rubber floor mats, roll bar, no jump seats. gas tank in the rear between the frame rails.

The bad:

some frame rust in the back has made the vehicle un-roadworthy IMO. both rear spring perches are soft and last time I drove it I could feel it was not good. I just saw the rear section that would replace that section of frame sell on ebay for $175ish. I should've bought it, but lack of cash prevents further deposits into the money pit...

It never used to leak, but it's been sitting for a year now and some seal must have dried up because there is probably 1/4 qt under it today.

It always started right up, but I bet the battery is down because I didn't unhook it.

Pics available. I've got 5k into it, asking $4000.

I've got a large trailer so there is possible delivery. My 60 won't like to pull it very far, but if you have access to a full size truck I'd be willing to help get it to the Cities or possibly even Milwaukee/Chicago area. The wife wants her parking spot back, I'd like to see this out by the time the snow flies...
 
I picked up a frame from a 78, can cut off the end and weld it on to the 80 or swap it over. I also picked up 2 decent doors with the 78. I'll include the whole 78 frame and doors for something close to the asking price...
