Thanks for the quick replies!
The friends I bought the car from don't really seem to know much about it. It sounds like it was a left over of their grandparents estate that had a collection of cars(40+). This was their grandmothers personal car and was registered under the family business since 1982. I found it under a heap of dust at the back of a warehouse while there to purchase a 2010 Subaru and just fell in love with it.
I believe the car has been stored indoors for the past 5-6 years. I was told they stopped driving it because of problems with the air suspension. That it was too expensive and too much work to fix. They said the air bags needed to be replaced.
There is a good chance it had a fuel stabilizer added considering how many cars they used to have. Is there a drain on the bottom of the tank? or will a hose go straight down the filler neck?
My knowledge of cars is limited mostly to early 90s Japanese 4 cylinders. The most I've done is upgrading head gaskets and a couple motor swaps. I hope to do the majority of the work at home in my garage. I would like to keep the car as original as possible, if affordable.
Thanks for the links Kari, I will check them out.
These are the controls that need to be replaced. They're too brittle to touch.
