The story

Purchased as a $4000 used car in 1997; said to have belonged to owner of Art Hill Ford in Merrillville, Indiana. Taken off the road from 2004 to 2006 for engine work; spent ~2 years drivable again with new engine, now off the road again. Had offers from a local demolition racer in the meantime, but haven't felt its condition is bad enough to send it off that way. — 1987cp
