1981 Honda Accord Hatchback, 5 Speed Manual, 135,000 miles, light beige

This was my first car bought new in 1981, I've been the only owner and been driving it ever since. Its had all the regular maintenance done on it over the years along with other repairs as needed including a new radiator and water pump a few years ago. I was hoping to keep it even longer but I just can't anymore, it now needs more work and repairs than I want to make. I was still driving it through the summer of 2008 but then something happened and it wouldn't go into gear anymore. This spring a mechanic said the linkage was broken so it would need that and a few other repairs to get it on the road again (It would have to be towed at this time) The engine still runs fine and when last started up a few weeks ago most everything else still worked: the radio, clock, lights, fan, etc. The body does have a little rust here and there but it is in pretty good shape for a car this age, some body work and new paint would do wonders. For someone with the time, ability and resources, this could be a great car for a restoration project. Or it might be a good source of parts for another car. I would prefer not to see it go to the junk yard and was hoping to find it a new home. I have photos I can email to anyone interested. I'm asking $375 which is just to recoup the expenses I incurred this year, a couple of tows and the mechanics time. I'm located in Alexandria, VA, just outside of Washington, DC.
