The condition of the tires should serve as a warning about parts that you cannot see.


I always withhold comments about someone's asking price, as to the right buyer who wants nothing but THAT car, price is not as important as it is to another.
However, a buyer of a moth balled car should expect to write a check for a minimum of $3,000.00 to $6,000.00 to get such a car road ready and reliable. Do the work yourself and that number drops significantly.
Just don't fool yourself that you can take a car that has been sitting for nearly 30 years, and just turn the key and drive off.
It is also troubling that if there was confusion about 90 vs. 91, then one wonders how would this person know about the intricacies of an LT-5 Engine.
If one buys a car like this, best to buy it from a member or someone who knows these cars inside and out, and knows what needs to be done. Why buy blindly?
Truly a museum piece, and exactly where it should stay until thoroughly gone over, as opposed to "backed out of garage and started" for 30 years?

When I saw the picture of that tire, I about fell out of my chair! That's just one issue you can see. And your exactly right about who knows what else hidden treasures await the buyer....
