Is it perfect?
Or is there surface rust, neglect etc.?
Is it in NCRS condition now, or what does it need to rise to that level?
If it is 1000 mile car left in a barn to rot, or a 1000 mile car stored in a climate controlled garage under cover and maintained would mean a world of difference in price.
what other options?
answers to these questions help define a price.
pictures?

Has been driven a few miles the last few years. Bottom and frame are clean, some unpainted items like suspension a frames have light surface rust. Stored carefully but not temp controlled. More of a clean un-touched survivor car other than waxing. Forgot how bad quality contol was then when looking at door jambs and sloppy glue job on all weather-strips. Maybe this will help??

Nice for a museum. If you try and drive it bad things will start happening. Rot is a bad thing for rubber hoses, and this car has a lot of them…

Kinda off topic, but for S**ts and giggles, the local Chevy dealer in town has a 25th Anniversery edition that is in the show room, never sold, not for sale that still has the plastic on the seats.

Its amazing!

Hopefully they don't start it up, they'll be mopping up all its fluids for hours!

Haha, well it has always been in a controlled climate, and im sure they maintain it.

The owner also has a 53 that was his grandpa's who started the dealership and got it when it came out.

Im so jealous...
