I owned one of these back in the day. It was so cool to open the hood and see that wonderful twin cam straight 6 engine.
Owner states "not concours but well maintained".
Really? Because further down in the article he also states that -
Known Issues
Sorry, but driving around with failed struts, multiple coolant and oil leaks, blown muffler, electrical issues and poor brakes IS NOT the definition of well maintained.
It is the definition of treating your car like a beater that you're driving into the ground and intending to dump at the wreckers the first time it becomes completely undrivable.
