1987 Texas DPS M7-524

[coupe]

Here's what history I know of the car:

I bought it from an old man who owned a small machine/welding shop in Donna, Texas...it was his "shop car" and he only spoke Spanish. His son told me that they got the car from his cousin, who purchased the car at auction circa 1991, so there probably haven't been many owners of the car since Texas Department of Public Safety had it.

Car barely ran when I bought it, but after an oil change, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc... it ran extremely well. I wouldn't hesitate to re-hone and re-ring everything. Like I said, this is a great project car that's just some elbow-grease away from being really nice.

Edit: To the right person, I would be willing to negotiate a little.

I still have it, but a couple interested parties.

There is normal surface rust on some underside and rearend parts, but no real bad rust issues that I am aware of. The floorboard under driver's side foot well has a bit of pitted rust, but it is definitely repairable. The driver's side door is original and has some rust down along the lower edge where it's pinched and seam-sealed. The passenger door was worse and has already been replaced (see pic without molding).

The black spots all around the car are some Rustoleum primer I shot to control some surface-rust areas.

The car is not a basket case by any means.
