    very cool that you know the history of the car and we now know how and where it ended up.

    I’m heartbroken but happy. Heart broken it is not the same, but happy it got saved. Can you enlighten us on the history of the car? As you know I grew up knowing this car. Thank you for letting us know it is still around.

    I often thought that this car might have had slightly narrowed fenders, especially from this view. Seeing the other pics, I'm not so sure.

    What year did the accident happen? What parts were able to be reused in the rebuild? So many questions!

    Only the step portion of the running boards was narrowed a couple of inches. The fenders were stock width, as far as I can remember.

    Well mystery solved.
    I hope someday it gets reunited with
    The custom grille.
    Thanks for the update Skeezik !
