Welcome to the club Sub!. You are in for a treat. These are exceptional vehicles and your's with that kind of mileage should give you many years of great ownership. Loads of quality information on here about most, if not all systems on this car. The search button is truly your friend. The one suggestion I might offer is looking into the timing belt service due to the age of those components

Nice Charger... Big bucks with Mecum or Barret Jackson....Great retirement for you.. The LS430 can be driven, and you have a fresher one. Send the pics! Of course we also want to know what you paid........
