Would someone buy this for me? Please?

It reminds me of my first car, a base 1986 with the 3.8.

Located in IL.

My 86 3.8 had HG issues.  It was an ex-rental car when my grandparents bought it with 30k miles, on its second set of HGs.  Fast forward to 100k miles and they blew again.  No biggie.  Problems were due to the rental agency not putting everything back together right.  Hello $1200 repair bill.  But it was still running at almost 140k when we donated it to the Kidney Foundation.
