Is that color 'Ticket Me Red'?
Nice car, enjoy it on those deserted Nebraska roads. Just look out for the tractors, harvesters and 75 million head of cattle.
You can use whatever octane the manual specifies; assuming it's not a high-compression engine, 87 octane should be just fine.
Some say ethanol is OK, others say it is no good - you will get better mileage with straight gas, however. If you can find a Chevron station, you get the Techron for free. They are scarce here in Eastern Iowa.
Have fun and remember:
-Brake in a straight line
-Don't lift off the throttle in a turn
-Please DO wind it up to 5k in 2nd though 4th gears
-You're not going to get that silly grin off your face for a long time.

Cheers,
