Hank...I bought the car a few years ago. I looked for a while for a very nice second gen that I could do an engine, trans, suspension upgrade to. After I got it here and had a good look at it, I got to thinking that is was too nice of a car to take apart. I know Darwin Clark. He came up and looked at it. He changed my mind somewhat about leaving it alone. He said it was a museum piece, and he should know. Here's a little info on him.

Darwin has some nice cars. He's also the head of one of the museums in Arizona. I had a healthy LT1 from the Nova, a fresh M20, a new scattershield, and some other stuff for it. I think the car is one of the nicest, unmolested originals in the Country. The interior is like new, the glass, trim, sheet metal, all the small clamps, are just about perfect too. The valve covers and the air cleaner are not original, but the originals came with the car. So did all 4 CL steel wheels, with the original baby moon hub caps. Not a single speck of rust, ever, on the car either. POP, dealer ordering sheet, all registrations from new are included. I am sure that Ric will make the car better than it is now.
