Yeah, $1500 was a lot at the time, but the car was not for sale. It was actually up the street from another car I went to look at near Shelton WA. After looking at the original car (that was a peice of junk) I stopped at the house where my car was parked and asked the owner if it was for sale. He said no, but didn't mind if I looked at it. After seeing it had near perfect deluxe interior, little rust and a Muncie transmission, I decided to toss out a high offer and see if he would bite. It worked and I drove the car home the next day. It also has a nodular center section ten bolt reared.

As far as pictures go, what you have posted so far are great...keep them coming. I took a photography class in high school, but you are a professional, I can tell.
