Another big cat rescue. Owner ran out of money, shop ran out of patience. See my 64FHC #890187 (not for sale) and my 68FHC #1E34611 currently on Ebay.

I almost bought this car back in 2005. All the parts were there and were stored in 55-gallon drums at a body shop in or near Fontana or Rialto IIRC. The car was stored in the body shop's yard exposed to the elements. Poor thing has really deteriorated in the 18 years since I looked at it. Sad.

It certainly is sad so see one of these beauties left out in the cold to rust.
