just picked her up friday, im the 3rd owner... it was owned by an old couple, always garaged, and they bought it back in 82. his wife used to drive it 40 miles round trip a week to work, so there are a lot of highway miles on it;114k. this was til about 98, when they bought a new car and began driving that instead of this, and let this sit outside. He would drive it every so often around the yard to refresh the engine. this was til around 03. then they just let it sit.... sit sit sit sit until i found it. now, as a kid i would see this car on my way to Kansas City every time my family went... i finally headed that way under my own will and with my own gas and stopped to see it. saved up a bit and bought it friday. now, again... this thing has been sitting for TEN YEARS untouched. brought it home, put a bit of new gas in it, and some seafoam.... bang, started right up and purred. changed the oil today and it runs even better... so far, besides getting it to run right... i had to change the front passenger brake line, as it rotted out and i almost hit my cutlass 
, and i removed the 8 track for a digital delco that i added an AUX input to... now i have to figure out why the gauge lights dont come on, but the gauges work. Also, ive been buffing the sh*t outta it.. for 34 year old paint, this stuff is gorgeous. only problem is the rust over the rear wheel wells. Oh yeah, every exterior light works just fine pic time:
when i found it
started buffing
pulled out the 8 track
added AUX input to the Delco
in the air for the brake line
finished brake line, changed the oil, finished buffing and drove it for the first time in 10 years... cant even feel it shift, its that smooth. i am gonna go ahead and do a filter an fluid change tho. btw, it starts right up with almost no effort.. no need to change the spark plugs.
oh yeah. did i mention i paid 400 bucks for it? my plan was to flip it for a couple grand which at this point i could easily do.. but after driving it and inspecting it im gonna go ahead and keep this one.
