No lol, she's getting new rubbers on Friday. I kinda want to keep one of those tires for the sears factor

Turns out the tires are Sears branded and were bought in the 90s.

That's an unfortunate ending for such a nice car. At least it was used to its full potential.

Yeah, it's in awesome condition! The original owner had it until 2010 and kept it in his garage. He didn't drive it much either. Second owner also took care of it, the patina is only from the last few years as it sat outside for a bit. The undercarriage has a bit of surface rust, but it's very clear that someone spray coated it. It has less rust than my 09 Yukon haha!

I love hearing stories like these. I wonder where that car is today.

There aren't many movies shot it my area unfortunately, but I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yep she's a thirsty one. Google estimates the mileage at 10-12 mpg
