That car is just nice enough that I would do only what's needed to make it run / drive / stop safely and not a bit more. That's the perfect balance of "clean enough to be proud of" mixed with "not so spotless that you'll notice the faintest hint of a new scratch from driving into a speck of pollen at speed".

Yeah, that’s the glovebox. The actual box on those and a lot of cars into even the “80s was just glorified cardboard. They just… melt if they get wet.

Yup. On the plus side they're usually quite inexpensive if someone makes them still, because they'll still just be thick black cardboard stapled together.

"Look new" and "garage kept for 10+ years" means the tires are probably ancient. Replacing them should be your first order of business once you get the engine fired up and verify the brakes/transmission work.

God drat, that interior is so nice.

Also this. Check date codes.
