Of course, just due to age they could be replaced.

It looks like it was always stored indoors. October 19th, 2026 at 10:22am ESTmarkholthoff (2) 0@EuroMarketCars Also is there any evidence of past smoking in the car such as lingering odors or smells?October 19th, 2026 at 10:18am ESTmarkholthoff (2) 0@EuroMarketCars Just wondering how the clear coat looks on the car. I've seen other examples from this era in Diamond Blue showing some light "checking" in the clear coat (looks like tiny cracks or spiderwebs).
