Well Dennis, every car has a story. I’ll try to keep it short. A local farm boy from our small town of 3k worked at 2 different local GM dealerships from 1967-1973 as a mechanic. He bought the car new off the lot the spring of 68. Opened his own shop in 1973. I went to work for him at 16 as a floor sweep, went on to automotive school and stayed with him for over 8 years. I helped him take it off of the frame in 2002 for restoration at about 80k. A local body shop did the work. He showed it for several year with great success. A couple of magazine articles too. Unfortunately he passed away in 2019 at age 75 from cancer. I bought it in 2020.
