Great options too.

What is the story behind the low mileage?

Hi Bill, Nall Motors in Iowa City is the delivering dealer. Wouldn't it be great to bring it to that Regional?

It's not an uncommon story for low mile cars. Dennis Peterson ordered the car when he was 21 and working as a machinist in Iowa City. I looked up his address and he lived in a modest home with a one car garage. The car was his baby and he never drove it. He had another car for work and pleasure. He never married or had children, so when he passed away his brother got the car. It passed through two owners and received a Bloomington Benchmark award in 1996. It's been seen once in 50 years at a show.

Congratulations, great car.

It will be good to get it back in circulation!

Zedder, I know you've been looking for an original LT1, did you ever visit with the owner?

**Zedder** · #17 04-19-2021, 03:21 PM

No Tim. I didn’t bother since his asking price was so high originally.

**TimG** · #18 04-19-2021, 03:26 PM

He came down substantially. I wasn't looking for another car, but couldn't resist.

Congrats Tim! I can't wait to see you with this one on the show field!
