I just bought my second 1984 Fifth Avenue today. A mechanic friend pulled it out of a storage unit across the street from his shop after it sat since 2010. A new fuel tank and sender were installed, the correct wheel covers were located, and that was all that was needed.
It's almost identical, other than it has velour vs the Corinthian leather in my old car, and this one has nicer paint. Put about 60 miles on it cruising around. Every option seems to work, even the AC, albeit needs a charge. The speed control works but it doesn't hold the speed at a constant mph. Front windows are a little wonky and need guidance when the go up. I forgot how close the power seat controls are to the door! Definitely need to adjust with the door open.
I got the car because I didn't have the proper closure with my old one, and the price was right. I'll drive it for a while, and decide if I'm keeping it or not. It floats down the road like a champ, only 41,385 miles on the clock, and old by a little old lady, it's been taken care of properly over the years.
Here it is sitting at my friends shop, I'll post some better pictures tomorrow.
