In the Spring of 2012, I bought the car as a “roller” at the “Goodguys” show in Scottsdale, AZ. The car had been abandoned in the desert 25+ years earlier. A local vintage car collector had salvaged it, along with a couple others, and put them up for sale at the show. My wife, Debbie, spied it and said “there is our next project” and here we are.
