    Actually started it up and drove it onto the trailer. I couldn't believe the car still had the original title and only 92,000 on the odom[​IMG]

    In the car was a bag with every single maintenance record. I even found a receipt for a tire repair in 1977.

    It's fairly solid. The frame and torque boxes are solid, but the qurters and fenders were patched when the car was repainted in 1989. I plan on repainting the car back to orignal (white) and welding in new metel insted of the rivited patches that are in there now.

    Neat to have that bill of sale... and a car that's been faithfully well maintained is...

    priceless.
