Yes I agree with you I plan to just get it running and clean it up . I have had a handsome offer on it from a gentleman that wants it buy to restore it . I kinda think that would be a crime the car is really cool as is

Then keep it!! Don't sell to anyone who would ruin this car by restoring it. If you have to sell it, then sell to the person that would appreciate it.

The protecto plate had Richards moms name on it I originally had no luck finding her . But when i sent the picture to James a member on this site he went into ancestry.com and found her and it said she had 2 sons one still In New York and one in sandiago . Richard was the one in Sandiago and was easy to find
Sorry most of the pictures I try to post come out sideways

That's what I thought the guy had some not so great cars In the garage under car covers and his best car out side in the dirt . I couldn't really look at the floors due to the rattle snakes he has there

I'm lucky the floors didn't get rusty sitting there all those years sitting on flat tires
