Edit: Have several interested persons both local and non local. I am working with the owner to get it road worthy. We put in fresh gas and started it. Runs good but has a leaking injector. Getting that fixed and sorting out any other major issues and addressing minor problems like cracked side marker, front turn signal lens and rear lens.
Will have a shop replace all old fuel lines and do a full inspection and list of needed safety repairs.
We did find evidence of a front end hit based on some wrinkled metal on the drivers headlight bucket and vertical support and buckled under hood reinforcement.
Still one of the nicest original cars I have seen.

Garaged and sitting since 1995 when original owner died. Possible 44k miles. Needs minor cosmetics. Spotted by grandson in an open garage when playing at the park. Could be for sale.

Looks like it, and if it's original paint, wow!

I spoke to Bruce. Its L96M. Sounds like a great car!

Bruce, I’m interested.

Are there more pictures and information?

Now there's a use for that old saying: "How's it Hangin'!?"

Love the color Marathon, not a fan of the wheels, & yes it would be wonderful if truly a 44K mi with original paint & interior survivor!

Good Eye Grandson!
Tom

Bruce
What’s the status of this car.

Owner is lucky that Bruce found it. They'll get top dollar for it instead of some flipper convincing them that it's not worth much and they'll take it off of their hands making it sound like they are doing them a favor.

Nice job Bruce!
