With a bit more details I may be able to swing this one.
Not close but not too far away.

What would you like to know
-
I sent a couple of PM's.
You say running and stops, I wonder if the engine is good enough to not need a rebuild soon.
Have you done a compression check, oil pressure when warm?
Pic of the frame head T area would be nice.
Original color, and do you think the current paint would polish to make a decent daily driver?
I assume the dash pad is bad, hard to see in your pics.
Glass is good?
I can see the dash veneer needs work, as always.
From what I can see the seats are good, yes?
Do you have the missing console parts?
Maps say you are north of LA, not a short drive but not unbearable.
My goal would be a car that needs some "TLC" but not major repairs.

I turned a friend on to this one and he bought it this morning.
I will be doing most of the repair work.
Our goal is to make it a nice mostly original* car but not do a full restoration.
