Thanks, I have seen those posts, but wasn't sure if mine had the same smell, maybe I'll find out at Woodward. I test drove a 2004 with 28K miles and didn't notice a smell, this one is obvious, and I assumed that since it was basically unused that maybe the P.O. put mothballs in it when stored.
And I am aware of issues with old tires, I will keep an eye on them. I recently replaced fronts on my 1967 El Camino that were still decent but over 10 years old, and most of that was in Las Vegas at my Dad's house. (It is probably harder to find large 14" rubber than the 19" for these cars)


I will also check the cabin filter, who knows what is living/growing on it.
