saying that it was sitting for a year scares me, but it might be alright

check it out, but if its good id get it, just not for a daily. would make a nice project/cruiser, and they are definately not common anymore, i hardly ever see any

sweet cars/ check for rust, check compression. make sure it runs right. these cars get little electrical gremlins, like corroded electrical connectors and stuff... high miles sucks though, but you can always rebuild

look for rust mainly, check compression, cycle through the gears, check weather stripping; ask him why he stopped driving it. how long its been for sale etc if its been for sale for a long time that should be a hint that maybe something is up that you missed

Lets just say it has 209K and has been sitting for a while, leave it alone! I have a paycheck it's on its last leg.
