Anyone know first hand who the "restorers" of #69 might have been, the registry makes no mention of it.

IF I recall correctly there was a discussion about the car back in 2007 on the forum. Wonder what the radiator is out of that's a might wide and thick one.

Nice car. Replacing the front core support shouldn’t be a problem as other sheet metal also needs to be replaced if ‘period correct’ matters to new owner. Fuel pump and fastener issues more easily resolved.

There are a number of issues to fix if someone wanted a perfect specimen, but it is a nice looking car and was a high dollar sale at BJ in '08.

Lots of little opportunities for improvement, but it has the correct 16" steering wheel, which the ad states is 15"
