Can’t wait to hear the story
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Lets hope the original owner was properly compensated, I always get upset when I hear people rip off the elderly who are not up on the value of things (I am not saying that is the case with this purchase) but there is a special place in hell for people like that IMO.

Glad it  made it into your hands you have earned that one !    cant wait to see it .
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .
