The previous owner would have the car stored at a heated shop in Buffalo, New York. I have receipt showing the owner would have the car flat-bedded to storage every year.

The interior is in excellent condition (look at picture of speedometer, the trip odometer has never been reset). The only small defects are: the radio is not working, same as the clock, the shift boot has a tear, the center console has a small nick by speaker and the gas pedal rubber cover is missing.

The exterior body is in very good condition. The paint looks nice, but it is not a concourse paint job. It was done twenty three years ago. It has some orange peel and some minor imperfections. There is a small amount of rust (from stone chipping) below the battery box by lower rocker where the driver front wheel kicks up stones. On the passenger front lower rocker, there are three small bubbles and lower front fender has a small spot at bottom (both are solid). Chrome and wheels are in excellent condition.
