I listed what I knew about the history of my 51 200 a while back. Eric Sandstum's father spotted the history - Eric bought the car from a junkyard in Del Rio TX in 1983 when he was in high school. The car had been there since 1966 - Eric was able to put gas in it and fire it up! He got the car running and painted it and drove it thru high school. He sold it after enlisting in the Navy and lost track of it. I bought it in 2001 in Dallas from another owner and later moved to Billings MT with it and a 39 120. Eric has sent me some photos of the car when he had it - nice to have some more history on the old car. I sure appreciate him saving it from the crusher!
