Newbie with a 62 dynamic 88 from New York

Hey all, about a month ago I picked up this 62 dynamic 88 that was local to me on Long Island. Got it from a “dealer” who had it for about 6 years, who ultimately got it from a guy in Michigan who did all the work to it. Back story is it was owned by a doctor in Lansing and only changed hands three times before any custom work had been done to it back in 2016, and it supposedly never saw rain or winter. Everything works as it should and it runs and drives great. Has the slim Jim tranny as far as I’ve read that definitely takes some getting used to it, but no complaints just yet. This forum has been really great to find out about this car. I picked it up because my ‘66 Chevy van wasn’t kid friendly and I’ve got two under two at the moment. Loading the family in this and heading to the local shows has been awesome, it’s guaranteed to be the only one there!​​​​​​​

thank you! Yeah it’s bagged with two viair compressors in the trunk and little Larry’s manual switches inside. Never had air suspension before, surprisingly comfortable!
