VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | pI bought from the half brother of a very good friend of mine who passed away 2 years ago. He had stored the car at my business and when his brother wanted the car I requested the back pay for the storage over the past 8 years. As he was unable to pay for that I purchased the care for a minimal amount and now I am in the process of restoring it. pThe history I still have to do some research on it.My friend who owned it for almost 3 years always indicated that it once belonged to a famous Hollywood actress. He even said that he had proved of that. But upon his death I was unable to search his estate for any record. But I try to do my own trough the DMV and see if I can accurately trace the ownershi history. At that time I will update this page. pMay 212: Lots of work has been done and the engine is running again. Frame and redone and on the way to finish the restauration hopefully by the end of the year. p | ||||
