You were something special with this car in that time. In 1986, my dear dad would drop me off at school in it. Upon my arrival, my best friend would perform curbside salute, and open my door for me, as our stately arrival did in fact cause quite a scene. Thank you for the video.

With so-called "museum" pieces such as these, the low-mileage, vintage vehicles have issues with gaskets and seals - any rubber hoses or pliable parts - as, due to not being driven regularly, can crack or rot away, and may not announce itself during the test drive, but a month or so later, you're looking at replacing vacuum hoses, brake lines, fuel lines, weather stripping, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and suspension bushings, not to mention the tires. Just FYI.

I one time follishly auctioned of a car at Mecum. They get a lot of commision from buyer and seller ( 30+% total) and you have to pay 2000 or so for entry in the auction and you pay for transport. BJ has no reserve auctions so with your bad luck, being in a wrong time slot; you will miss out big time. I used to buy classic cars lik ethis as profession. If this was my car I sell it on Bring a Trailer or list it at Hemmings or something. Never use a auction . NEVER
