The story the owner told me was the original owners bought it new in Cali, drove it to his sisters house in Memphis (Southaven, ms) and he passed away there. The car sat in her garage for a few years until the guy I bought it from purchased it. He drove it around some, let it fall apart and eventually the pick up Coil under the distributor cap went bad. He just let it sit once it went bad which he says was 18months ago. It needs some work but luckily the frame is near perfect. I only saw a few little spots on edges of the frame where there was any sign of rust. Im hoping it's just a bunch of cosmetic work and hopefully nothing major needs to to happen. The doors and louvre definitely need struts and the passenger door might need some torsion bar tightening, hopefully nothing major there.

I kinda doubt I'll be upgrading the radio, I like to keep everything mostly original. the guy i bought it from says it is finicky and doesnt work sometimes. wasnt working when i purchased it, ill check when i pick it up again. if its something i cant figure out with the radio then ill be put a new reciever in and ill let you know first and see if you want it even though it probably isnt working.
