i recently purchased a one owner (65 year old) 92 coupe 5.0 auto with 40,000 documented orig miles

It has original paint and the car was never abused. (I know people always want to believe their car was never abused, but this car was babied)
I know it is common for the A and C pillars to have stress cracks in FOX cars.

My A pillars are perfect but both C pillars behind the quarter windows have a wave in the paint.....NO cracks, just a slight wave. Was it possible that some cars could have come from the factory this way?

thx

Yup, there is a lead seam there and they were never straight. Guys on the assembly line did that and were rarely perfect.
