Love this car, remember it selling on Ebay about 15 years ago unrestored, wearing oxidized orange paint.

And a real stripe delete in Monaco Orange.

And at every cruise-in or car show there would be "experts" telling you it is the "wrong color" and should have stripes.

I would gladly put up with those idiots!

Did Nick Lewis own this car and then sold it to someone in the north?

Yes,Nick owned the car,and then sold it to Ken in Two Rivers Wisco. back in 2004.

That is what I thought he had offered to sell it to me at that time at a really fair price back then.

Lowered his BIN price,so someone hit it and just ended the auction..

Damn, that was wlll bought. I believe that car was bid to $85k around 10 years ago and the seller decided to hold out for more. Not sure it was the same seller, but wow.
