Where did the 3.3 liter engine come from? New clutch at 2300 miles makes me think it froze due to corrosion. The storage space may have lacked humidity control, or possibly the car was never driven long enough to properly warm up and purge condensate from the crank case and the exhaust. I have seen museum curators that thought it was OK to start the engines once per month and let them idle. That keeps the battery charged, but it leaves condensate in the engine and exhaust system.
The car is an interesting museum piece, but it is not worth much if the mechanicals were not properly preserved.

My car is fast, but I drive it slow. Now I realize it's the wheels.
Park Place has some decent cars, but they have hallucinations when it comes to pricing. But you have to realize, we're up here in a corner of the country where demand greatly exceeds supply.
That's the kind of price you'd see on eBay for something like this, and nobody even comes close to buying it. This car may be a consignment too, where the owner is totally misguided about what it's worth.
That said, I'd love to have it for a "real-world" price. These cars are all old, and they all need attention$$$$, sooner or later. And I love the silver!
