Thanks Mike! I picked it up in southern IL. Small town called Anna. PHS says it sold new in Pinckneyville, just a few miles up the road from there. I'm assuming it was a local car there in southern IL all of its life.
Seller tells me he bought it a couple years ago off a collector nearby who had it in a storage building since the early 80's. He told me it had a cracked block with a spun timing chain (hello nylon gear teeth) when he bought it. 109K on the car when I picked it up, so I'd imagine that's a fairly accurate history.
