imo if you let the distributor seal go bad and not fix it, it coats the whole bottom the car very nicely, i dont think salt could make it through that :hick:

in all seriousness tho, i dont think these cars are easily winterized and rust proofed. i've always seen these cars in the stage of it has rust so now the plan is to stop it from rusting more.

I drive mine all year (without the Cobra R's). I spray it down at the car wash about every other day. I don't really know if this helps at all, but it gives me peace of mind...

The reconditioning department is in my building at the dealership I work for. So I wash my truck every couple of days and every day when it snows. Used this big fancy machine to take a stain out of my seat today :hick:

well theres one way to winterize them get that truck bed coating and spray the whole bottom of the car it would be messy but the stuff works.

yea i imagine that works, but i've heard that it adds a shiznit load of weight. something like 100-200lbs... of course it wouldnt be in the back or front only, being through out the car, but i dont think the added weight justifies it. but to each their own.

well if u spray it on at the same thickness as the truck bed it would but if you put a lighter coating on just to prevent rust it might add about 10 pounds at best. they spray those bedliners over a 1/4 inch thick.

I drive my 87 year round and living in western NY it gets a pretty fair amount of salt(hell, the roads are even white here) but I wash it alot and it leaks enough oil( 3.8 that wont die ) that it never sits long covered in the road . That combined with the fact that the car only cost 200 bucks it has been relegated to staying outside while my other birds stay in the garage.

Hush!

Snow wouldn't bother me, but all the salt they use is just crazy.

Drive the 96 during the winter, leave the other one under the tarp.
