Anyone out there interested in an FB?

I live in Salt Lake City and recently bought an FB GS 12a from a guy who knew what he was doing with the engine. Engine was rebuilt I'm guessing about 63k ago, and the Odometer for the body just rolled to right above 152k. The model year is 1985. I'm not sure if I can get rid of it yet, but if anyone is interested PM me and we'll talk. There is an 87 FC that I want to get but I need to get rid of this one first. Anyways, yes, I'll post pictures soon. Here's a list of things it has wrong.

Most significant: Whining noise from rear end. I took this car to Michigan and back once (3k miles) and didn't have a single problem with it, but would want to look into this later on. It's basically just annoying right now.

other things:

Windsheild Washer bottle cracked and leaking
Doorpanels are rigged together with pop-rivets.
Horrible paint, Silver and bare metal.
As just indicated, interior is fairly clean, but has been put back together by an ametuer.
Missing centercap on front left wheel.
Passenger sun visor falls, but I'll try and fix that.

That's basically all I can think of off-hand, it's just a bunch of little stuff that I don't have the know-how or money to do. Also, I'm totally lost on carbureted engines, so hopefully someone out there will want to start a new project.

Hope this peaks interest.

Has it always had the whining from the rear end? Do you still have all of the sound deadening under the storage bins and cargo floor? The rear axles on these cars can be surprisingly noisy from inside the car without anything being wrong.

officially on the market now, I've gotta get rid of this thing so I can make room for the new one. Needs to go, $1000 OBO, I think that is reasonable, lots of new stuff...
