Lots of cancer! I have been looking for this exact car but don’t know if I could stomach the restoration...

Oh, come on. You get a new solenoid with it.

"Only needed a solenoid (included) when I quit driving it in 1983."

Although, I will give the guy points for honesty:

" The 12 years in a u-stor-it type place with high humidity and no air circulation rusted the sheet metal."

Being in Northern Illinois, I am guessing that the rust got a head start with snow, ice and salt before it hit the storage unit. What a shame.
