This car was driven several times per week during first 2-3 years of purchase. It has been in dry storage for approximately 3 years with occasional driving to keep the drivetrain lubricated. It is currently registered/titled in North Carolina but stored in West Virginia. The paint finish is good, with few chips/scratches from daily driving. The chrome is good and all trim parts are present and in good condition. The only known problem is a frozen fuel gauge sending unit, an issue that started around 77,000 miles. Car is driven on nice days to keep the drivetrain in good operating condition.
