Every test drive I've ever done, I do this thing that scares the seller a lil bit:
I turn on EVERYTHING ELSE, BEFORE starting the car while rolling down all the windows. Poor man's electrical test.
And yes, a test drive should be a wee bit harder / more fun than a normal drive - it's a TEST drive, you're supposed to put it to the TEST.
If it can't handle being driven by someone running a few min late, then those problems need to be found.
I'm in Michigan, and from the service records, it was kept local, which means there's a touch of rust over the rear fender - that was already in the books for repair. Thankfully, I have family that is in the classic restoration business, and they were going to go over every nook and cranny. I can take some additional pics. The interior is immaculate. Engine compartment C L E A N. Weathertech liners over every available surface, no wear on the buttons - car wash subscription sticker on the windshield. The thing was cared for at one point.got pics? what area is this from, any rust? looks ok from the 1 pic, but.....
