Check out the video - this thing is dang near perfect for someone wanting a classic bowtie pickemup.
It only has 79.6 original miles! Spare had never been on the ground. Original gas in the tank?

While I can't speak for this particular dealer, some dealerships used a lube sticker to mark that they had done a pre-delivery inspection. It was not unusual for us to get a Buick with a door sticker when it came in for a first oil change. We did not do it that way, however.

seem to remimber way back cars/trucks came with break in oil that was different than its reular oil. Does still seem like they would have left it in longer than 80 miles , I still don't doubt it.

I could not help but spot the welds (haha)
that grade of pinching went right into the 80s... :

I also remember if looking for a four core radiator.. those trucks were a source ;D

That must be getting a pretty penny...wow.

I want somebody to build me a magic barn where for 40 years tires and rubber hoses don't rot. And mice can never enter.
