I like to hear stories like this. Very cool. I am happy for your father. Good job, you must be the "good son".

"Reunited"--does that mean your dad bought the car back? Looks like keys being handed-over in the photo.

Bruce, I'll send over some information on the car as it is a pretty cool story over the years. As Bill says the car has some great stories behind it.

Here is a link to photos I have uploaded in the gallery for your enjoyment. Overall the car is in much better shape than when we sold it in 1981 as somebody did a body off restoration on it. There is a lot of detailing that needs to be done, general clean up, chrome, fasteners, tires, etc. It will keep Dad busy over the winter. Guy we bought it from added aftermarket power steering and brakes, electronic ignition, gauges. He gave us all the original parts except the brakes which he did not keep so that we can reinstall.
