Thank you scrappy. This one is in pretty great shape considering it was a test car to begin with. My grandfather did a lot of work to it cleaning out Tire Dupree and such when you first got it. If I member correctly it only has about 60,000 miles on it. There were a couple pictures I took of it when I was down there a couple years ago.

Forgive me if I sent them incorrectly. I'm still learning this system on the forum.

It's been sitting on its short lift under a cover and garaged for life. He took great care of it with the exception i'm starting it and driving it. The other one is a 2000 pewter that I'm hoping to get started next month so that it can warm up and run a while. It has a set nearly as long but I don't want it to end up the same way. I believe the neighbor starts that one every few months or so.

Me too! We may go down next month for a couple days and I'll be able to do a better assessment than the last trip. If my mothers house sells soon I may get to bring it home by April. Would love to have her ready by the end of summer but only time will tell. Mid summer is still the current target.
