Thank You for all the reply's. It is very much rust free, a good example of a fair to good condition car with less than a 100 thou on it. Full dealer service till 1995 then normal maintenance at local indie. The timing chain recall was preformed early in its life. Do not know about sub frame. Picking it up this weekend. No it was not started. It fortunately had non ethanol fuel in it. I know all rubber will need replacing, gonna start at fuel tank and work fwd. Didn't think of brake lines but that will be next after she is running. Car has been in a attached garage which while not heated stayed pretty constant due to insulation. Gonna get a few fuel filters and hope for best depending on what I see when drain tank may or may not drop it for cleaning. Any recommendations on this?? Wish me luck. I really think fuel and juice and off to the races, but like with anything that has sat caution is best, just do not want to hurt it. And it was my Dads so it has sentimental value therefor any reasonable discussions about value and wasted money will fall on death, ears besides look at my sig and I own a boat, the real joy will be in keeping it up to snuff as cheap as possible (doing my own work and screwing up a few thing as I learn along the way still cheaper than paying and I get to buy new tools) while maintaining the quality level of this type of vehicle and riding with the top down.
