We had 100" of rain here last year. All the suspension rusts like crazy. No rust on any body panels at all. Most of the suspension stuff had no or little paint on it so no protection means rust.
It is not going to be a show car and not ever going to try make it that. I will not ever go to MCA shows again. It is just a survivor with 12,200 miles one owner and I ordered it not the dealer so I got everything but the block heater and somehow missed that.
It is going to be sitting in a museum with hood and trunk open and nobody going to be under the car. Just going to make it safe to move around and will probably never see the open road again. It may be donated to the museum never know. What am I going to do with it when I am dead, lol.
I have to ask then
1 - Why would you have not taken the $ 25,000.00 you were offered for the car?
2 - If you are going to give it to Steve at the Museum - Why not let him restore / fix it?
Why would you go though so much pain and money to give the car away, especially when they don't
keep them there forever . I think they plan to rotate cars in and out... sorry I'm confused.
