Car on lift
 

I found a first gen Mustang that has been resting on a two post lift (8ft. In the air) for at least ten years. The car was solid before being raised. It is also in a dry garage.
Will being on a lift for at least ten years negatively impact the structure of the car?

I would not think so. If it’s suspect take it to a frame shop and have them put it on the numbers. That way you have a good starting point.

On those cars if the doors open and close nice all is well.

8 feet or 1 foot, no difference, suspended by 4 contact points on the frame. Should be no issue though after 10 years, I’d swap out the shocks, bushings and springs

I think it will be fine. If it is a complete, uncut car, it has plenty of structure to hold it stable. Also, look over all the sheet metal including the roof. Any buckling would be obvious.

Thank you for the suggestions.
