That's not Loc-tite. Those are slippage marks applied after the bolts were torqued.

Not something you see everyday. Would be interesting to have some more history on the car.

So buy a car in 85 for $29,000, never enjoy it by letting it sit for 27 years, and then sell it for less than what you paid. Not a wise investment strategy.

But it's fun to see what they looked like new.

From the brief description, Sounded like it was part of an estate sale so they died never using it......

the former owner may have had a huge car collection, mechanics etc on staff and drove all his cars a lot but had so many that none got any serious mileage on them... who knows, but if he bought it and loved having it then its all good. there is a wealthy aussie(Lindsey Fox) who has done just that and all his amazing. cars are low mileage but used and maintained unbelievablely well.
thats why the history of car maybe so interesting
peace

IICR his cars are in bags, or something like that. I've been hanging to go to his museum and see his car collection.
