Story I got on cars history is as follows: car was a special ordered car in Butte Montana. Original owners kept it until around 1975. The second owner had it until 2014. That guy passed away and his brother got the car. I bought it from him. He told me that his brother had a drinking problem and offer ran into s!*# hence the body damage. Lol. It hasn't been a driven car for about last 10 years or so. Has sat outside most of its life. Still retains most of what's left of the original paint. Story goes when car was nearly new, the original owners blew the engine while racing it. So it does have a dealer warranty Sr engine block. Had around 5k miles when that happened. I guess it was a pretty fast car in that area at the time. It has a running 400 in it now but came with all the original parts. Luckily the 2nd owner kept everything. The Sr 428 ho engine lost oil pressure in late 70s, so he pulled it and installed the 400 from another car. That's about all I know about it. Only original parts it's missing is wheels, hubcaps, radio.
