Yep. BLM and I talked to the owner... there is another thread here started about it.
BLM and I heard the story about the car...
- It had the engine and suspension removed after it was destined to become a drag car.
- The owner ran out of money, and put the car in a container until the 80's. It remained untouched.l
- A collector bought the car in the 80's, and then sold it to current owner for $60,000.
- The owner almost "forgot that he had" the car, so figured it was time to sell it.
- He was more interested in his WW2 aircraft hobby, and just didn't want the car anymore.
