Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lastkidpicked" data-source="post: 184514" data-attributes="member: 237">Hey, Kenny!There are two things going on here:If the car was sold new in Texas and stored in Texas, then it has never lived in a city where they put salt on the roads.  Guys like [USER=3950]@Bill Dilks[/USER] will fly to the Southern States for a car like this, because it is worth it to him to find a salt-free, rust-free car.The second thing with a classic car like this-- the history of the car adds a lot to it's value.  The story behind a classic car really means something.Compare these two histories:The car was sold in L.A. (which would make sense in 1990).  Then in 1994 it was sold to a person in Michigan.  In 1997 the Michigan owner sold it to a person in Illinois.  In 2004 a person in Texas bought it, and here it is.The second history:Here we are in Woodville, Texas, with the second owner of this car.  The original owner took delivery in Houston, brand new in 1990.  So here we are, 29 years later, and you can buy this car less than an hour from where it was originally delivered.You never know what will have meaning to a buyer, so they threw that in there just in case it means something to a buyer.</blockquote>
