Story: 

Rick’s father bought this car new.  He worked at a Chevy dealership in Indiana at the time.  The car had new sheet metal and paint applied in 1984 and it still wears that paint job today.  All of the work was done at the dealership where Rick’s father, retired by 1984, was employed.  The interior is original, except for the carpet.  Rick’s car was profiled in the February 1994 issue of All Chevy magazine. 

Rick has the original shipping document for the car.  It includes all of the option information with which the car came equipped.  The car has 49,500 original miles and no major mechanical components have ever been replaced or rebuilt.  Rick moved the car to Texas in 1989.
