Where about in IL are you from? I used to live in Champaign.

That car has to be worth some serious coin.

I know it only has 15K on it, but you should SERIOUSLY consider a timing belt service, as that belt is now probably closer to 19 or 20 years old (belt was manufactured before the car, which was probably manufactured in 93) and it's been sitting for 6 years with pressure on certain spots, like your tires) and probably has stress cracks. I would also go through and do a fluid swap on all fluids in the car. I know the first thing you're going to want to do is dump those rims, and now that I've seen them, I'd probably want to do the same, but maintenance before mods everytime, and you'll be a happy owner.

second the notion for doing the timing belt! and also take this piece of advice to heart. the door panels in the sc were made from thin brittle plastic. so before you end up with cracked falling apart door panels like all the rest of us read some tutorials on fiberglassing and take the door panels off and reinforce the rear sides of the panels. i am not kidding they will fall apart if you do not take this preventative step. the first thing to cave in is the area near the speaker grills breaks and then the vinyl will tear where it broke. just ask any body on this forum. we will help guide you on reinforcing the door panels. and also the upper door trim. the gray trim above the door panel needs to be fiberglass reinforced also or it will crack in 2 pieces and the vinyl will tear. you have a rare oppurtunity to prevent the damages we all suffer from in our higher mileage sc's. and i will say it again you lucky bastard.
