Default Wow! I had the same car and color

Wish I had it now, car auction sold a 63 for $100,000 last year!...Since NC (27 yrs) was our last stop b4 TV, can understand the love of NC beach condo!

It took twelve years to restore to original stock condition. Then I drove it for another twelve. A friend couldn't resist buying it because he wanted to do cruise nights and win ribbons. I kept my promise to my kids and used the proceeds for something fun - the down payment on a beachfront condo in NC which we loved for another twelve years.
Lots of fun for 36 years!
