    I know this is in Spanish guys, but it's a nice story. So if anyone can read some spanish or maybe give google's translator some use.

    This is from a 1984 Argentine Corsa magazine issue. By that time the car was acquired to it's original owner with 20000km (12500 miles) on it.
    Apparently it's still owned by that same second owner (Joaquín Garnés) and he put just a few extra miles on the coupe during this last 27 years (gonna do some research next week).

    It seems that Mr. Christiansen (the original owner) didn't want to use his Ford frequently. From those 12500 miles, less than 4000 were actually from driving down the road. The rest ? well..., the car rested on jacks at this gentleman's garage.
