I looked at this car yesterday, the name of the original owner and racer, I am not sure if I remembered this correctly but I believe it was Delbert Delaage? Ring any bells with you east coast guys? I didnt hear the murder thing, my understanding was it was bought new, raced, then put in storage 25 years before changing hands. Definetly a saveable car though. Very solid body, will need some straightning, seats not correct, engine sevice replacement lower end, new GM hood, correct rear, nice glass. To justify this car financially at the current price the restoration work would have to be done by the owner. Put $50,000 in the resto and what we be the point with a non original engine? For that investment a finshed car would be the way to go.

I used the bid estimate option on that COPO site----
$ 500-$600 per 72---not bad---- the only real problem I can see , is that they want these payments per month not per year. I could definately swing the 72 yr. payment plan.

"ON THE MOVE" The way the current owner explained the story to me is that the girl friend died in the hotel room. After partying and riding around all night, they got back to the room they had an argument, he stabed her in the leg, they both passed out from the alcohol, when he woke up she was dead. Then the car was outside in the elements for a long time.
