Great story and patience on your part! Are you going to restore it or just keep it as is as a reminder of the past? Surely you would be upside down on a restoration, but I know with cars like this money may not be a factor in your decision. Congrats!!!

That is fantastic that you ended up with it. It amazes me how these guys profess to love a car so much they can't sell it, but are perfectly fine to watch it devolve into that condition outside. Glad it is in better hands now!

Wow! What a great story and thanks for sharing it with us. This car will certainly have a special place in your heart and the restoration will be very rewarding to you as well. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Amazing story. When I was about that age I was obsessed with some neighborhood cars, guy down the street had a '69 Camaro with a big hood scop, camming SBC with a Milodon gear drive. Another one was a '71 Mach 1 on blocks.
