Located in Keene, NH. Looking to see if anyone on this forum would be interested in this heroic vehicle. Yes, it truly has over half a million miles on the clock, and the engine still runs great and the transmission is good. The previous owner put most of the miles on it and maintained it really well. 5 speed manual, It has a level 2 rocket chip and a straight pipe, I've done 800 miles on a tank averaging at 80mph. The car has been sprayed with high quality undercoating, so last years inspection I was told it still looks good underneath and no rust where it matters.

Recently came into trouble with starter motor and battery, I had both replaced, but then after a few weeks it wouldn't start again. It is also having some break issues that need to be looked at. Also there is a big hole in the passenger side fender that I was going to patch up. Some other things will need to be fixed such as the release handles for the hood. The power steering system was replaced recently, as was the handbrake. It also has a second hood cover and winter tires on their own rims, I have only used the car one winter of the three years I owned it and these winter tires were almost new when I took ownership of the vehicle.

I love this car but need a more reliable vehicle as I have a new baby and also need to get a truck for my work. So if someone is interested in restoring the vehicle and continuing the milage legacy, drop me a line. Open to any offer, would like to get back some of the costs I put into the starter motor and new battery recently.

Was trying to upload some pictures but not finding how to do it, let me know I'll send them to you through email or whatever!

I seriously have no idea the value of the vehicle. What does someone on this forum suggest?

Without pictures, and based solely on your description, as it's admittedly a project car, I would say you'd be doing well to move it for ~ $1000.
That's if it was running.

As it's not running, put it up on craigslist/facebook, and ask $500.
Congratulations on your new arrival!👼
