79 Limited info!!

The Admin Lads will be annoyed (Forgive!) but if i posted this in the "Parts for Sale" section, it may not get the immediate notice it may deserve on this rare find. So I hope for some indulgence so the interested parties can check this out.

DISCLAIMER: not my car. Have nothing to do with this except I found out about it on line. I have no stake or profit in this! Please DO NOT PM me about this. What I have written here is all I know:

Parting out 79 Limited at the Carson City, NV Pic-n-Pull. No ph. #or address (that would be a Google assignment). Very recent posting (like: days) so this car is still there as of Nov. 24/08
Best of luck!

It is sad to see an SA in that good of condition being parted. Most likely rust free too coming from that area. Shame shame.

Sorry, those aren't the Almex rims, simply 1 of the 4 different waffle patterns.

That is a shame, I'm really tired of seeing all these rust free cars go to the scrapper, while all the ones left around this area have holes in the floor you can climb through....

Man, I can't believe how some people have no idea of the rarity of the old cars they junk. Amazed that yard owners aren't aware of the demand, either - - throwing money away.

I dont see any badges on the B pillers, and It looks like there is not a Sunroof.

Sure it is a Limited.

It is in fact a LE model. The "Limited" badges were once on the car but only the sticky residue is present. 5 "LE" wheels are there. It is a sunroof model. The interior is not so good with 81-83 door panels but the original LE seats are there but pretty torn up.
