My take is that there must be something wrong with it such as a blown engine or tranny since it looks as if the car was left there before it ever needed fixing up-,it looks like the car has been sitting in the same spot since it was an almost mint late model car.When this car was parked,it wanst a basket case,it was a car that looks as if somebody was trying to preserve as a survivor and didnt know what they were doing.I would say that any damage on the car happened while it was sitting.The car had tarps both under and over it to seal it from the weather,and even the interor had signs that somebody was trying to kep the car fresh while it wasnt being driven,but after 25 years of sitting outside,no car cover in the world is going to preserve a car that well.I would say that back in about 1995 you could have taken this car and given it a coat of wax and it would have been a real nice car,but after another 10 years of sitting it is getting rough.I would say that within the next 10 years the surface rust will turn into holes and the rest of the car will fall apart as water gets in,so it is kind of a now or never deal.
