'79 Scout traveller (MIDAS) FS

["Louis D" <loudean@domain.elided>]

OK I've finally admitted defeat. I just bought a small pickup & with the 
car & the motorcycle something's gotta go. This is a brown/wht striped 
345 4bbl. factory midas custom package scout traveller with 106,000 mi. 
on it, new brake calipers & rotors in front, pads in back, rebuild 
transfer case less than 6,000 miles ago. Custom top has factory dual 
sunroofs, sliding side windows, aircraft-style swivel-lighting for all 4 
seats. The rest of the factory custom stuff includes a digital clock 
(very retro), rear bucket seats with a built-in cooler (from the days 
when it was your manly perogative to sip a cold one while driving down 
the highway.)It has matching front buckets as well and has white 
striping (also factory) down the sides.
 Now for the negatives. This is in need of restoration. It has the 
front-right body mount rusted through. Both panels behind the doors are 
rusted through. A/C unit is intact but non-functioning, same story on 
the cruise control. Original wagon-wheels are there, tires are 
automotive-style (although in good shape). I was planning a full 
restoration with my brother but he moved away & I haven't the skills or 
the motivation to do it myself. I have a few extra parts gleaned over 
the last couple of years, another rear hatch, the original driver's door 
(replaced with color-matched one that is on it & in good shape.) A full 
lock set including an entire steering column with the ignition switch 
still in it. Oh and one of the rear swivel lights has a broken switch. 
Also I pop-riveted some sheet metal in the driver's floorboard, the 
others are somewhat less rusty, not great though. 
 Price? I was asking $2,500 on advice of a scout afficionado who claims 
he's seen them go for $3-4K at the national rally, but I need to get rid 
of it. I'll settle for the first $1,800 cash I can get. I posted a URL a 
few weeks ago with pics of it. That URL is forthcoming. Sorry if I've 
rambled & wasted bandwidth, selling this thing is breaking my heart. :(
