The VIN for this car was referred to on a Google search but the link had died by the time it was found. No information was available other than the VIN reference.

Recently purchased this car after it had been off the road for a number of years. We are now driving it regularly and are in the process of going through all of the little things that need to be done to bring it up to the condition we want it to be in. Most visible "flaw" at this time is that the paint, which appears to be original, definitely needs to be redone.

It is a California car that was transferred to Florida in 2012. It includes Heritage Trust Certificate #10872, dated December 2004. It has had a $20,000 complete engine and 3-speed transmission rebuild in July 2008 (9,xxx miles ago). It has a modified cooling system to keep the engine running very cool. The car starts well and doesn't burn any oil. In January 2011, it had a $16,000 frame-on restoration on a no-rust, solid body. It also has had a $3,000 interior replacement in April 2011. All the gauges and switches work, and the clock keeps time. Extensive records, starting in 1987, outline every detail taken to keep and bring this exceptional ride into great shape. It comes with original owner's manual and service operation manual.
