Also, im going to add this. UNLESS there are yearly tag or MVI slips that list mileage, or oil change work orders going back 30 years, I don't trust mileage...
And never on "barn finds."
My first g body was a 1983 regal I put up to store in 1999, original interior looked like new when I did lacquer shined without cracks, and still does. It had 160k on it. Only saw a couple winters since new as well.
Gbodies that were taken care of wore well on the interior. You could sell mine for 60k and nobody would tell the difference - above, beneath, or inside.
With this car, I don't know if I believe the 44k to 66k original....
But I guarantee, those last 26k miles were the hardest, the most beat to crap thrashing, that poor car had in its life.
Also, fyi, plan on a timing gear/chain replacement as your first maintenance if you buy it.
