I find it a bit sad that this vehicle was rarely used for its purpose. The next owner will soon find out that there is a reason “museum quality” automobiles are in museums. All the 26 year old parts that usually fail by now will start to fail in quick succession. But he or she will likely have deep pockets! I predict the head gaskets will start to leak within 5000 miles because there was 2 year life coolant in for at least 20 of those 26 years.
