Oh and his airbags have gone off.

Nice find! Very jealous.

Congrats on the purchase. I'm guessing it cost at least $10k? Maybe I'm guessing too low... idk.

The headlights proves it was stored most if its life. Can't say if it was a good find because idk what you paid. Mileage doesn't matter with this car. The only thing i would be happy about is that the seats are almost new. I'm sure those tires need to be changed like yesterday

Damn, what a mint find! Congrats.

I'm trippin on the wheels though, never thought a 430 would have those wheels, thought they only came with the 5 spoke.
