If all of them are out of service, it may not be motors. Even if they are all bad, at least they are available.

I like that car and would not hesitate to make it a daily driver.

Yea sounds like it just could be the master switch panel?

The master switch itself could be bad. A lot of the time, the power lead for the harness going to the master switch has failed and if that happens, usually none of the windows will work because there is no power to them. The other thing that happens is that corrosion gets the better of connections that supply power to the master switch and that will also kill everything. Someone will need to spend some quality time with a test light on the various circuits to see if there is power to the master and the other switches. If there is power, the motors are likely bad. Another thing that happens is that window channels get packed with algae, fir needles, dirt etc and the windows can not move. This is common on cars that have seen extended outside storage.

How much of a pain would the window motors be? And are they even available?

This car is really growing on me

The motors are available from Dorman, although the latest iterations from China don't mount up as easily as the previous ones made in South Korea (you need to add additional spacers/washers to mount the motors properly). But hopefully the motors will actually last, unlike the originals with their plastic gears. Power window work is usually a pain and you must take your time and be methodical and careful not to hurt yourself. The springs in those assemblies can seriously damage your arms if you don't know what you are doing and/or not careful. So if you work on them, be careful and read the service manual through fully the first time.

Over in Europe big 4 doors are popular. Maybe it will find a home over there. Anyone know how much it is to ship this barge on a barge to Europe?? Can't imagine all the smaller fees on top of the shipping ,customs ,insurance etc.

About 15 hundred USD to ship it over. The customs are 5% on top. Add to that the value added tax (24% of the purchasing price plus the cost of shipping). But I don’t think the cost is an issue. It’s just that we have enough sedans here already; back in the day those were virtually the only ones that were imported. - Now If it were a 4d hardtop it would have sold already.

Not sure who is closest. I am on the western side of the state. Raleigh is about 5 hours from me.

It's now 14,170 euros... Was 17K obo when it first appeared!

I don't think anyone is ready to pay more than 8K for it, as the condition is what it is (look at the interior pics and the only engine pic)
 
Way late to this thread. Haven’t been on the site lately. Raleigh - is rather where this car is from me is about 2.5 hours. Probably a similar drive for Bluport
