2 = Gary Cunningham then owned it for another 24 in Ohio
3 = Mel Luizza got his hands on it for about 2 years in New York
4 = I bought it from Mel and owned for a couple years, built the new drive line and fixed it up.
5 = I sold it to a private collector in 2019 and the car now resides back in the USA

There is another guy who tried to buy it from Mel (prior to me) but never closed on the payment and never took possession. That guy is from somewhere down by you I think?

Gary Cunningham is the one that I thought I know, but I guess it's another Gary. The Gary Cunningham that I know lives in Madisonville KY. He has owned and built many cars. Funny how so many people have the same name. So it is the same car that I saw on Facebook yesterday.

Pictures of that car have continually circled on many of the Facebook pages and have done so for a while now. It was a great car, and likely one that I should have kept.

I don't think it will come back for sale in my lifetime. Owner really digs it.
