I have a 69 Firebird that has a history that was a variation on this. Car was ordered in San Francisco by an independent car rental company in Honolulu. (They ordered them in California and shipped them in because the GM dealers in Hawaii had a monopoly and priced accordingly-they still do). In 1970 after 18 months service they put it for sale on their own selling lot right next to the airport. A navy tuber bought it and used it while he was stationed at Pearl for two years before having it shipped home to Paradise in Northern California where he kept it until I bought it from him about 7 years ago. Last bit was that a week after I bought it the garage it had been stored in for decades burnt to the ground during the 2018 wildfire there.
