What an amazing find. Purchased from the second owner in 2015. The second owner
purchased the car from the original owner in 1971 with 21,307 original miles. It was
stored in the barn pictured in Indiana since. In other words stored for 46 years prior
to a two year restoration. The seconded owner said the original owner side swiped
the lower left rocker behind the front wheel when he blew a tire and ended up in a
ditch. The left side of the car pictured was original paint. The first owner decided to
paint the whole car so he proceeded to primer the right side as it did not need body
work. The second owner purchased the car as pictured and did minimal work to it. It
was to be a father son project which never eventuated.
