    A 7 year old car with 49 miles??? I guarantee you all the rubber seals will need to be replaced...not good for any car to sit.

    There used to be 4 in my small town, now I have the only one left. My factory Ford mechanic in Mobile says I have the only one left in the south Mississippi-Alabama region, or at least he doesn't see any others any more.
