My best guess is a RH23 Satellite Sebring. If the rear seat and upper door panels pictured are original to the car, it has the C2X9 interior that was optional with the Satellite Sebring with the Décor Group. Sebring Plus cars came standard with bucket seats - this one has a bench - although it doesn't appear to have the matching Décor Group vinyl - and looks like its a different color? This also explains the placement of the Satellite emblem on the trunk lid - there should be a Sebring emblem there also.

Looks like a pretty rough one - but a great color combo. Going to be a pretty spendy restore - even if you do most of the work. Can I ask how much he is asking? Scott.

The front bench seat are not original to the car. I have no idea if it was a bench seat car or a bucket seats

if it was a bucket car you'll have the four holes near the tunnel with the factory reinforcement brackets.
