Every time I hear the term "low mileage" I am curious what that means in a
40 year old car.  As far as I am concerned, even a very low mileage car
(under 1,000 miles) would likely be in a state of deterioration after 40
years unless it had been meticulously prepped and stored in a light free low
humidity environment.  Many times people seem to go bonkers when the car has
"only 30,000 miles" or whatever, neglecting the fact that sometimes all it
takes is one drive in the wrong kind of weather and the years will take
their toll.
