That is awesome you will have it sorted out soon enough.

Spoke to Marc, today...what a pleasant, accommodating fellow! In the next couple days, the old car will start and run for the first time in 32 years. He expects no problems.
After that, the new lumbar bladders will be installed and the stereo system will be returned to new.
It has been such an excellent experience dealing with the guru from Chicagoland!

Yesterday, #2456 ran for 1 hour with zero issues. The original sparkplugs were "like new" after a cleaning. The A/C works although a more comprehensive measure of A/C performance will be completed, next week. Seat bladders were replaced along with the seat back tilt worm gear in each seat.
Other than measure AC performance, the re-installation of the speaker amplifiers and the repair of the headlight motor gear cases are all that's left.

The car is ready to come home from Haibeck's. Marc says "it is as new again".
When he first started it, it blew a few generations of mouse nests, as well as a fair amount of acorns, out the pipes😁

Time to bring this thread to an end. Got the car back, today, from Haibeck's and it runs perfectly. Just as satisfying is, all the systems function as intended, including the seat bladders and stereo system.
Since the car has only traveled 62 miles in the last 32 years, I'll keep it as a time capsule. The next caretaker can do as they wish. In the meantime, it'll be kept in an excellent environment and started regularly. I hope to do the occasional NCRS/Bloomington type outings. Thanks for following along...

Out of curiosity, did Marc take any pictures of the seat bladders when he changed them? Just wondering if they look like the rest of them even after no driving (basically turning into dust kinda like the headlamp nylon bushings)? BTW it looks great!

Marc sent the originals back to me and I'll keep them with the car. They are in a thousand pieces. I'll post a pic, later.
