Hey gang. I ended up getting this car. I was best friends with the currant owners brother who died in 1979 from cancer. I paid to much for the car but wanted it to restore per my buddys plan. As Tom was passing time in the hospitals battling cancer he was making a plan for the car, performance up grades and such. I have all his letters and drawings in a book and built the car per his plans. Was an emotional build for me. Put over 2000 man hours of my time in the car and $42,000.00 out of pocket to restore every inch of the car. It drives great and is very fast and turns lots of heads.

Mark sent me a p.m. advising me of his work and this post. Quite incredible to see this car as it is, seeing that it was a total mess when we looked at it for Dan. The color was changed from the maroon if I remember correctly, and the wheels/tires were a mis-mash of incorrect everything. I'm glad to see that it has been restored and put back on the road. Congrats Mark for a job very well done! Bill
