@ RadioSvit, it will be for sale when they can pry it from my cold dead hands.
I wanted this as my first car (this actual car). Had a chance to buy it from the guy that I worked part time for. Dad wouldn't let me buy it because I was in college at the time, and he thought I would spend too much time tinkering with it. Fast forward a few years, the guy actual gives it to me, but my wife doesn't want me to have it. I put it in the garage anyway and put up with a month of her not talking to me (or much else either).
Some dents, a lot of rust, the interior, engine and transmission need too be rebuilt, but it does run. I had stripped the original paint job and 2 additional paint jobs from it, to the bare metal, and put a coat of primer on it about 23 years ago. My job had me working much overtime so I really haven't had a chance to touch it in 20 years and it is buried in my garage. But I will be starting on it this summer or fall.
History repeating itself:
Dad probably wouldn't let me buy the car because when he was young, he had a chance to buy a 1936 Cadillac V16 Roadster for his first car. His dad said NO, went out and bought him a Model A Ford, and told the mechanic to make it so the car couldn't do more than 30 miles per hour. Grandpa knew Dad well!!
