This is just crazy, this car was found about 1/2 mile away from the dealership I work at. According to another article I read, they changed the fluids and put a new battery in it and it fired right up!

I think we all know someone who could take care of the moldy interior, too :lol:

They say 100-200k but idk if the market is there for it. It is probably one of the best preserved all original (Original paint I would assume) GT350-H cars left around though. Not only that but its pretty windy and dry in Kansas (a little more humid in NW here) but I would guess the paper and trash around it maybe kept it a little more preserved.
It will be interesting to see what it does. Looks like there was a little chip on the drivers door and it needed some buffing but other than that....

They`d probably junk it for the cash to clunkers :o
