But this car is New Old Stock Except For... and who knows how long that
Except For list is. We already know about the cheap and dirty paint and the
improvised interior. Stored in a barn with dirt floors in a temperate climate
(read
moist) is a recipe for rust even without being driven. Throw in nesting
raccoons and mice (not at the same time) as well as roosting birds and it could
be
a real disaster. This is a prime case of go see it first.
