    I normally would never say something like this but you pointed out that the "interior is like brand new"
    So get that dirty air breather cover off that 30 something year old upholstry...:naughty: LOL.. I don't have room to talk I have done the same kind of crap before. Anyway. Nice looking car. If it has been parked in storage for many moons drain as much of that old gas out of the tank as you can before you put fresh gas in and try to run the engine.

    yea that air cleaner was taken out about 30 seconds after this picture was taken, jus so ya kno. n i hadnt cleaned the interior in that pic either. we had just taken it out of the garage then. its real shiny now! (y) and yea it has a half tank of 20 year old gas in it that surprisingly works. it started right up. ill definitely be draining/cleaning the tank and replacing the fuel pump/rebuilding the carb before i drive it. also gotta replace the radiator, it leaks a little...well alot lol
