Haha. Thank you!
I should add to this…that the guy I bought it from is actually a very nice person, once he let his guard down. He just had some sort of strong attachment that wouldn’t allow him to part with it. He obviously had no intentions of ever parting it out, or he would have done it over the past 25 years. I was very upset at him back then and initially again when I contacted him this latest time. He is very guarded, but once I went to his house to introduce myself etc, he let his walls down a bit. He told me stories of seeing the car driving down the road in the years before he bought it. Maybe at some point he imagined fixing it up for himself.
I’m actually going to drive to his house and take him for a ride in it once it’s done. I think that’ll be kind of cool too
