Default Hypothetical Question:

If I left my '92 coupe outside with the windows down in a duststorm, would the heavy accumulation of dust in the interior of the car damage the electronics.....or anything else???

What should I pay close attention to, hypothetically???

Hypotheticaly,only an idiot would do something as stupid as that.
But if they did,I don't think electricly,they would not have to worry too much.Now a rain storm might be different.The best thing they can do is try to use compressed air to blow as much of the dirt out of every nook and cranny as they can,and call it good.Dirt should not affect connections already connected as much as moisture will

Nope, won't do anything but get the inside dirty, even if it rains in it. However, they don't do well submerged for extended periods of time.
