If it is still around next month, I will be traveling up there regularly but for now, I don't get that way. Sorry bud.

Thanks, Nolen. No biggie. I am in the market for a clean, low mileage non rust-belt 80 Series and one popped up there. Looking at a couple of others out west as well.
 
Doesn't look like I'll be in that part of my territory for a few weeks. I'll let you know if that changes.
 
I have a good law school friend that lives in Bruce. I am sure I could ask him to go by and take a look at it. However, he isn't a LC guy and isn't going to know what to look for as far as potential problems with the 80. I don't know the potential problems myself since I only own a 100.

Is there something specific you want checked out? Rust? Wrecks? General condition?

If you give me a list that will not be too time consuming, I feel pretty confident in saying he would check it out for me....

Thanks, guys. I am waiting for the owner to send more pics; I'll just let the chips fall and see what happens.

I got my eye on a white 93 with 173k, cloth, no lockers. Super clean. I think I can get it right if that is interesting to you.
 
There is a locked 80 on CL for $6900 in Memphis.

If you guys are really close, then maybe so. I just don't want to call in favors and spend your time if this rig isn't the one.

Looking for solid running engine on cold start, super clean headliner/dash/interior, rust-free tailgate and frame. No respray on paint. Solid shifting tranny. Not concerned about a torn up ds seat like they all have.

Some things looks really solid about this rig, but I find it a little odd that it is sitting in a used car lot in Bruce. That's either really good or really bad.

I am going to do a restoration on my next 80 with some trail mods; kinda like I did with my '85 FJ60 a few years back. I am looking for a super solid and pretty one to start from.

I am hoping for one with under 150K miles, but if it's well maintained, you know the drill.

I looked for it, but didn't see it?

My friend bought it....he was the 3rd owner. It's clean, clean. Got a cold start problem though...funny you mention that.

What is the fix on that? He says it runs rough and as soon as it warms up smooth as silk.....
