I wouldn’t kick it out of my garage. I admire any preserved like this, since it’s a museum piece, nice to see what they looked like when new, not restored better than new or with re-popped not 100% correct parts. I’d personally driven it a bit more too but 🤷♂️
The pics of the owner and others in (I assume) 1984 is cool too. Looks like a customer ordered car with 1AZ, wonder if it was his plan to tuck it away or after getting it decided to keep it as a decoration instead of drive it.
Being a Michigan car and the undercoating, the fact it was ordered I’d guess the intent was to drive it. The undercoating is a detriment to a car like this but does help a bit for those exposed to salt.
