Great Car!

I Agree keep it stock.

Also Put some Gas in it. You can't be that broke.

The license plate shows "Nuevo Leon" ain't that South 'o the Border? Is that C-5 an illegal alien? How about a little amenesty here? And that tiled courtyard looks right outta South 'o the Border too, unless I am mistaken.
