    Looks well cared for but it's in Maine. A look underneath wouldn't hurt.
    The price is sure right.(y)

    A thorough underneath inspection is called for. There is rust in the quarters, and I am sure in the fenders behind the front wheels, especially the passenger side. Looks to be a lovely car, but would take work to bring it back. Otherwise, drive it until it breaks, which would be a shame at that low mileage.

    Yup....that's the shame of many old Wisconsin cars, too. They can be well cared for and have low mileage, but, if they were driven year round, they are likely to be rust heaps underneath just waiting to bloom if it didn't already bloom. If that's true with this one, at least he's not asking big bucks for it and it probably still has a lot of miles left in it. If this is a runner I would sure buy it for a driver and inspect it carefully to see if it would be worth restoring. If not, and it's a runner, it would still be a comfy driver for a few good years or more. If this car was near me I would likely buy it. How wrong could you be for 1200 bucks? Or less with some haggling.
