Guys - the owner is part of the original purchaser's family - so same family, never outside family. Original purchaser passed away not long ago, his wife remains with us.
This car would have been quietly presented via a magazine in the near future (still will) as it's coming out party. However, the owner got ahead of himself in posting information on "the internet", which makes it searchable and then everyone wants to know: Is it real? Why not seen before? Who owns it? Is it for sale? Is it documented? Can it be...? " I get it.
Just as some attach value to the first of a breed, so do some to the last of the breed. This is what we have here. Value it more or not, someone will; hence, this car (should it ever change hands in the foreseeable future), will likely carry a higher price tag than an car of equivalent condition because of the STORY. It's all documented. It's virtually all original. It's been in the hands of one family since ordered/delivered. It's real. It's Orbit Orange with special stripes. It's cool.
The car is NOT currently for sale and is not assumed to be for sale in the foreseeable future.
People should see it soon enough - less than 30 days at the
