I knew about this car a little bit ago but kept quiet. It will be interesting to see what this one brings.

Nice car but with less than 1200 miles, it doesn't look as clean as I would have thought (front bumper, spoiler, engine compartment with broken hose).

1200 miles, you drive that car at all and you'll probably find yourself with a large puddle of oil underneath it as all the dried out seals let go.

Not much dust on that car after 40 yrs solitary. I am having trouble connecting the dots on this one.

If you look at the surrounding stuff in the garage, you can see that the garage floor is not that old. I bet this has been moved around a bit.

I was expecting to see a mint condition interior light, but it was missing.
Overall, it does look like it's in nice condition. |

Not much dust on that car after 40 yrs solitary. I am having trouble connecting the dots on this one. Just because it was sitting in that garage for 40 years doesn't mean it wasn't wiped off every other year. Some people are perfectly capable of not letting 40 years of dust accumulate on their cars ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
