Hi Jamie,

Just a few comments on the pix. Great idea BTW. You know what they say: "A
picture is worth a..........................."

Photo #5 shows seatbelts for a third seat. Lift the lid on the rear floor
by the rear entrance. If there's a third seat in there you've struck the
"mother lode". It's probably worth half the value of the car! This photo
also shows the grab bar at the rear end of the roof for a third seat.

Photo #6: R.H.S. door jamb (where the lock latch is located). This is part
of the rear wheel arch and is white, not body color. L.H.S. seems to have
the same anomaly. Has the car been repainted? or these parts replaced?

The body looks to be in good shape, generally. Even those infamous rear
mudflaps! I guess not to many parallel parking spots have been backed
into............

Good Luck.

Those pieces of crap are still worth money? My mom's 245 had one from
new, even when I was a kid it was cramped and uncomfortable. It took up
the locking cargo bin, seatbelts are mounted in holes punched in the
headliner so if you take out the seat you still have ugly bolts or holes
there. I took out the seat and threw it away years ago, I can't imagine
why anyone would want one, let alone pay money for it.
