I got the car from a high school classmates father-he wouldn't let his 2 sons have the car because it was to fast for them-the older boy wrecked the car then it sat for 5 years before I got the car in 1985- so it has been sitting for 20 years now but Before I got the car I got to drive it 1 time and I loved it I guess I have loved this car since I laid my eyes on the car in 1980.... the price of the car was a lawn mower which was free&25dollars!!!!!!! When I got the car I did not have the money to fix the car up so I just hung on to it all these years...I plan to start on it this year...-hopefully!!!
