wifes new car

[mapman]

I have been looking for a nice car for my wife and finally got it. When we went to look at it she just said I could drive that! It arrived today. It is an R2 car with supercharger traded for air conditioner. It will be fun to figure what all I have as it was once totaled on a palm tree and rebuilt. R4935

Yes it was a fatal accident in 1970. Paperwork with the car indicates it has been around the southwest after being in Florida.

The previous owner bought this in California in 2000. It was Herb Shriners car and he and his wife were killed in the accident.
