Not at all snow and salt on ground but let it run if I can't drive it.I love driving it in winter as long roads are clean that LS5 loves the cold air.

Here's one--bought it at a welding shop going-out-of-business auction.
Sold it on ebay. (about 7 years ago) Wonder where it is now. I hope someone has given it love. It's a 71 with 73-up style fender openings.
