[Advanced Design]

So I was trolling the 60 - 66 Suburban section and another member posted this 62 Suburban below. Turns out it is 40 miles from me and at an auction house. My AAADD (adult automotive attention deficit disorder) kicked in and I had to call. It went through the auction, didn't bring enough, owner went to Florida and is in poor health and asked auction house to sell it...asking $8,000 make an offer.

I couldn't resist and had to go check it out...might be a great deal. And actually it looked pretty good until I looked underneath Pretty rusty with some bad repair attempts....figured there was more of same down low under the nice paint. Darn rust belt....was hoping it had been imported in from a better climate.
