Usually there is a price given - none in this case? The washer bottle looks very nice, maybe new from 24 years ago.

Think he’s looking for $2500 or it could of been a placeholder number.

So if in dry storage for 10 years, where's the mold from?
I'm not the most johnny-on-spots guy, but if it was moldy when I got it, no way I'd let it sit moldy for 10 more years...

 

[fury fan]

Just as well the rear bumper needs plated, can then remove those 1978 Suburban bumperguards and weld the holes...

Anyone know if the pattern on the "Redone" seats is an OE pattern? Or the previous owners taste?

Not OE. Just a better-than-usual two-tone & piped pimptastic re-do because they did follow the OE style... also known as money thrown down the toilet.

After a long winded talk last night with an extremely unenthusiastic seller - long story short, car hit a mailbox sometime in the 80s, took it to a shop, they used body filler, didn’t prep car correctly, repainted over it and caused it to start molding sometime between 94’ and now.

 

[fury fan]

I don't understand how paint prep has anything to do with mold on the interior. ??? Mold is a moisture thing.

Those seats look like 70 300 pattern, although the 2-tone and colored piping is a departure from factory seats, which were all 1-color.

Thought you were referring to the big F off paint decay on the pass side. Why it’s moldy in dry storage beats me doubt the seller would know why either

 

[fury fan]

Ah, I understand now. I was referring to the seller's 'Moldy now but vinyl can be cleaned'.
