Please send me the contact info on the 55. Thanks,Larry

Larry - Thank you for your interest. I will PM the contact information to you.

It will take a lot to bring the car back, but from what I could tell, it is not a rust bucket. What I hate is that someone thought they would "improve" it by customizing it ...

While the body appears to me to be solid now, it needs to be moved in out of the weather or it will begin to deteriorate rapidly. It has been outside on this farm since last December. I simply am not in a position to rescue this car myself right now.
