So been meaning to do this for a while as I do have a bit to post but I work slow enough this would be a few years long already.
Back in 2010 I found the car online the short distance of 2000 miles west of me in Alberta and got a little crazy and bought it sight unseen and had it shipped to me hoping the seller was honest, luckily it worked out for the best. The car is in really good shape, less some heavy bondo. The old brush paint job is holding up pretty well and the body is very solid little to no rust, only a few small stress cracks and about 12” of half rotted sub rails in each of the rear corners under the bench seat, that had been poorly repaired years ago.
Managed to find one hell of a deal on shipping as he was headed home nearly empty. The car pretty much sat as it arrived for the next three years. Was used for our wedding pictures shortly after it arrived. (shameless picture)
