1962 Super 88

Hello everyone. I am new here, but a 2 olds owner. I have a 1970 SX convertible that is my real passion, but I also have a 1962 Super 88 sedan. It is a 37K mile car and is just sitting. It has power windows and locks with A/C. Big old tub and I pay storage on it constantly. I am sure the cotainer it is in has moisture in it so it is probably dust by now. What are your guys thoughts on what to do with it. Here is what I have thought about.

1. send it to the bone yard
2. sell it
3. re do it
3 sound great, but re doing a car you have no real interest in is a tough go

Like to hear your thoughts on this old beast.

Pull it out of the container take some pictures of it and post it on the "cars for sale" forum. There are people on the site who like the old big cars. Use the money from the sale on your 70 vert. That way you save an old car and make yours nicer. A win win.

Thanks

Thanks for the note, I know I need to try to save it. I am not a big car guy. I like the a bodies and hate to see a good old car go.
