Looks like it was stored about a mile inland from the Atlantic Ocean.

Looks to me like it was stored about a mile and a half east of that spot...

Too bad it wasn't preserved in "as last raced" configuration. 
Well, at least you have one!   :2thumbs:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

Aero426

Not sure if I ever posted this one.   Here is the car being "displayed" outside (!)  at Talladega in 1989.    About a year of outdoor storage accelerated the deterioration of bare metal surfaces where paint had flaked off.

The model builder is actually quite talented.  Interested to see what it sells for.  :popcrn:

The paintwork could've been preserved and just had some blends done.

C500

Neat looking model  :icon_smile_cool: I have a 1:18 C500 done in similar weathered style I bought a few years ago
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."  

"........the four speed box changes cogs with the precision of a sharp axe striking soft pine."
