I don't know how many miles yet. I went and looked at it over the winter, but it was locked and I couldn't get inside. I will have much more info in a few days.
I have a growing list of questions, but there is a lot of documentation in the literature archive that I want to look through before I start making a nuisance of myself.
It looks like there is at least one other member here in the Treasure Valley, so that's cool.
What are your thoughts for the car? A full restoration? A car that you can put a couple hundred miles on a year? The end goal for your project will influence what you want to do beyond the must do items to make it safe to drive.
Given that you can do much of the work yourself it will make your project much more economical. I've spent 18 months going through my 53 Cavalier, which I believe was also parked for decades, but not sure how many. We just came back yesterday from a 400 mile round trip to the family farm and it purred like a kitten! So fun to drive! I can make you a list of what I did and what I would bet you'll want to do on the Patrician, which is essentially the same as the Cavalier.
