I shared this thought,until the one time I contacted a previous owner and they hung up.Found out later their son owned the car I was asking about car but was now deceased.
Seems the Father did not want to talk about it.
After I later wrote a letter to them explaining,the Mother wrote me back saying they don't wish to discuss the car because their son came home from Vietnam & soon died.They blamed that car but wouldn't tell me why.Seems he sevred 2 tours and lived,yet came back home & it was the car that killed him.
Father wrote in the note if he ever saw the car again,he was going to spit on it,if not kick & curse it.
