Good afternoon All !
I joined this forum looking to pick up an education, and hopefully some direction from some of the more experienced members here . Here's a little background on the car, where we are at now, and how it got to this point :
My father purchased this car brand new , and still has all the decals in the box, motor trend articles , Car and Driver notes, etc.... From about 1989-2003, the car was a garage queen, seeing only Sunny Sunday drives. From about 2003-2011, my Father went through a rough time in his life and the car was driven more occasionally ,spent more time in the elements etc...
From about 2012-now, the car has been sitting dormant , mostly under a car cover , with little to no movement.
Then I purchased the car 3 weeks ago and am planning on bringing her back to life , starting Mechanically of course, then working out to the minor body work needed.
Right now I can't get the car to start, and from speaking to some locals and asking around, some people tend to believe there is an issue with the cars security system and/or steering column. I can get the car to turn " On" but it will not crank the starter, or go to the crank position. I am pulling the starter today to see if I can manually get it to jump, if the starter is good, It's back to the electrical drawing board . I have pictures, can post as much as I can, any help is greatly appreciated !
