It's a 1974 2.0 that I decided to let sit in my mother's garage over the winter until I could figure out if i was going to go pick it up or have it it shipped. It turned out to just be less of a hassle to have it shipped. I listed it on Uship, got a bid i was happy with, and the car should be delivered this Friday or Saturday. I'm really excited to get this thing here and give it a once over. I've never seen the car in person so hopefully there are no nasty surprises waiting for me. updates will follow later this week

I did a little more digging into the car today. I didn't expect to get a rust free car from the northeast but i'm not sure how bad it is. it seems solid everywhere but under the passenger side rocker. you guys can be the judge of how bad it is. the front floors, and all the jack points seem solid. I haven't pulled the battery but i can't see any real problems in that area. this car has been painted at some point so it probably had some rust issues addressed at that point. I bought the car sight unseen and I didn't know it had a center console. it was just sitting in the passenger footwell and i loosely installed it just for the photos. I realize it's not the same as the factory set up but it was a nice surprise. I also thought the seats had been redone but it turns out they are just covers. The parking brake seems to be stuck on. the lever goes u p and down but i can't push the car when it's not in gear. I did drive it around the block and i'm looking forward to being able to get it out on a longer drive. Any tips to get the parking brake unstuck?
