Its a kit car. Sitting in 4 pieces at my sons house. We bought it for
his HS graduation and he drove it for 5 or 6 years. Was a small journal 327
with T-10 4 speed. Its been sitting in various stages of disrepair
since. I assumed ownership in lieu of debt. I am near the point
where I will have time to devote to it. I promised him that we will move
it to my garage by Labor Day, we'll see.
