WOW..what an awesome find. Again, a prime example of the old "they're still out there". Congrats on the acquisition.

As Charley said, we would love to have you join us at the upcoming Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show. It looks like a prime candidate for Vintage Certification, and I am sure Steve Shauger will chime in. There is no doubt that it would be a hit and well received

I had emailed you some pictures and few details back on February 6th but not sure you got it or them as I never heard back from you. Maybe you could PM me with a good time to speak on the phone.

Thanks Jay

Congratulations - great car.

Fantastic, on all counts! What product(s) did you use to clean the vinyl? Came out spectacular.

Thanks!

We started by lightly wiping the seats down, Next we steamed them really good, then we gently cleaned them with a general purpose cleaner (Incredible Pink) to get any leftover dirt off and last we put on a vinyl /leather conditioner which is more or less just a spray wax , we let that dry and then hit them with a very soft boot brush. The seats were absolutely filthy but they look and feel brand new now. I think the windows might have been down for at least the last 10 years maybe longer. Amazingly we didn't find one mouse nest or any signs of any mice in the whole car

There must be an efficient cat nearby.

Lol, No cat, I asked if he had mice issues. The previous owner said if you leave the widows down mice won't go into the cars. I find that hard to believe though.
