The story

Bought this car at an auction in California.
Had it shipped to Buffalo and picked it up and trailered it home to Alliston, Ontario, Canada.

Car was solid with mainly surface rust however, the windshield had a bad leak and the floor rotted away.

I am currently restoring the car but giving it a more personal touch and not going for the original look.

The Ranch was built on December 18th, 1962 in San Jose, California. It was the 31,443th car built there. It was originally Corinthian White with a light beige crush vinyl and medium beige Steerhead Vinyl.

It was last running in 1982 and I brought it home and put a new Distributor on it with some new gas and she started up with no issues. Now 50 years later, the engine runs like new. — mrliscum
