I was just about to post this. Has power windows. Also, what's this thing? I'm not familiar with it.

That's the saddest looking exhaust port I have ever seen!

Crumpled up like an old beer can. Oh sorry... I meant a rusty old beer can. Sadly this one is a gonner. Parts car.

What's the deal on the generator? Shielding?

Whole car is listed for $3500. I called the guy... price is negotiable. No status on the motor so I'll assume it's stuck. Looks like some good parts despite the heavy rust. Hey, hey... 7 button radio

Looks like it had a passenger side battery as well. Also, has front bumper guards but not on the rear.
For all the rust near the rear window, surprised the eyebrows and rockers look solid!
