History
This car has been in my family from new, I actually came home from hospital as a new born baby in this car in 1964 and have personally owned it since 1983. I have a number of more valuable cars than it but this is the one that means the most to me as it has been around me all of my life and the first car I every rode in.. I have bought 2 of my 3 children home from hospital in this car and plan for it to be in the family long after I'm gone. I gave it a full rotisserie restoration about 7 years ago and upgraded the mechanicals to make it more user friendly with disc brakes, Trimatic and warm X2 equiped186. All the original running gear is stored in case I want to go back stock.
