I agree, and am thankful that I've been able to keep mine in the garage since I bought it for the second time in 95, prior to that my buddy (I sold to him in 86) had it out side until 93. I originally bought it back in 78 or 9 and it mostly was in the garage when not being driven when I was in the Navy 80 - 85.
With only 40,400 miles I'm lucky to: 1-still have it/able to buy it back, 2-it survived my buddy owning it - probably cause he left it in So. Carolina when he relocated to Cali, 3-it's not as bad as it could've been rust wise and 4-it's getting closer to income tax return time so hope to get at least the floor done then tear the rest apart and see where I need to go from there.
