VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
Removed from a barn in Bloomingdale, Michigan in April 216. Was told it has been parked since the 198s. Last title issued in 1976 to a couple in Constantine, Michigan. Currently titled in my name.

Currently the car has a half a tank of vintage gas in it, full of clean oil, and was a gallon low on coolant. Motor was initially stuck but freed with kerosene after very little effort. I am collecting ignition parts to get it running. Wiring needs to be redone before it could be started. The car came with replacement rocker panels. I also found rear glass.
Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
No modifications for this car. This car will be a stock restoration. The current goal is to get it running, driving, and stopping.
