* To everyone inquiring about the car, frankly I am overwhelmed with all the inquiries! I will do my best to answer the questions in this note: yes it has a clean Florida title as stated on the listing. As I also stated the car had been stored for years in a garage of a house I bought. I do not know how many owners just that it was with this family for quite a long time. I do not see any rust under the car or wheel wells, except a small spot on the passenger side floor where ther is a little rust. Under all the carpets, the drivers side, passenger side and under spare is completely solid. The battery tray is solid. The only info I was given about the paint is it was thought to be the original. It’s very pretty!It does run and drive very well! Thank you for all the compliments and interest!
