The one in the first post and post #41 are mine before I bought it. Here are some pictures I took today. I've got it on stands because I bought new tires and am slowly cleaning the wheels for repainting. There is evidence of a mouse (or multiple) inside so wiring might be an issue. When I hooked the battery up to it not much seemed to work. Wipers did, luckily they didn't scratch the crap out of the windshield. It's been fitted with an aftermarket ignition to replace the points as well. Also the engine is stuck. I'd assume it's not too bad because the oil didn't show any shavings and other than being dark it seems fine. In the picture looking at the engine from the driver side is the part that looks like a vacuum solenoid is the system that has the WAI. The red hose is supposed to run to the exhaust and the open side goes to the fender well. The last 2 pictures are the worst rust, except in the front fender wells, on the car.

Now lets play a version of where's Waldo: This car has been sitting since 1988. Can anyone find the evidence (besides overall condition)?
