85 Sunbird 31k miles - Michigan

From the photos, it does NOT look like this car has lived its life in Michigan.
I have not seen it personally, but it certainly looks pristine in the pics...

I'm sorry, but that is NOT a parts car. Those are getting pretty rare. They didn't make many, and the few they did make succumbed to rust damage many moons ago. I want it. I want it bad.

 

If you're serious, send me a PM.
I can look at it for you...it's only about 10 miles from me.

Thank you, but no. I don't have the money or means for another vehicle at the moment. Even though I want it lol. I would never hear the end of it if I brought home another car

 

I'm confused----Again! Why would anyone advertise a vehicle that appears as nice as advertised as a parts car? Like Dented Fenders, love to own it if it really is that nice.
I'm thinkin near Detroit?
I too have too much junk already and projects i can't get done. :banghead3:

 

$2,800 is not a 'parts car'........
Seller's got some strange ideas about how to sell a car.
Nice wagon though........loaded for a Sunbird.

 

Maybe it's another trick sales gimmick. Look how it got our interest!:banana:

 

Yeah, it buy the pics seems to be a amazing survivor considering it's from the best example of dispoable plastic cars of witch GM and the 80's ruled. So if $2800 is a parts car, what does a good one go for....$28 grand???

Burry It Jackstone dreams?

 

Absolutely beautiful car. A piece of history that is otherwise pretty much long gone. If it's as good as it looks and is described, AND if I had $2800, I'd pick it up in a minute. Certainly the most loaded Sunbird wagon I've seen and nicest condition. Looks like the only thing it doesn't have is the alloy wheels but they might not have been offered on the wagon. I always wanted another J-wagon since my first car was a Cavalier wagon. I've only really seen a handful of Sunbird wagons in person, ever.

With the mileage and condition... makes me wonder if it was an elderly person's car who barely drove it at all, and never drove in the winter. Dryrotted tires... maybe they died and it has been parked in a garage or barn for years. I'd like to know the story behind it.
