both equally gross
That green/tan combo is the worst color combo in history. Besides the JDM STi purple/tan.

if someone did that I bet they would get good money for it, cause an sti is not a civic, plus cars wont be running on any gas then so it would make it worth a lot more

Great idea for investment since there were like 20 bazillion of them sold! Usually you choose a car that actually might be worth something, not a run of the mill car.

But this one is rare because it was caulk green pearl and didn't have the factory AC installed! Makes it worth more don't you know?

It happens.
Highly plausible story... are you being serious?

A car sitting for 60 years, or even 10 years, without being driven isn't likely to function properly. Will almost certainly need every single internal/external rubber seal/part replaced. If it hasn't moved, all that stuff will have dried out and cracked, even sitting in a garage. Before I would drive it myself, I'd have to have the engine, transmission and brakes at a minimum checked and more likely gone through completely.
