Good morning,
I am looking to sell my car which I have worked on very intensely for about 5 years now. I am within 4-years of retirement and am trying to get ready for retirement. I invested a lot of time and money at this car and truly love it. This is a hard choice. I have tons of pics of the build on my phone and will communicate with serious inquiries. This not concourse, but mild resto-mod vehicle. I recommend visits to see the car for inquiries. Bids start at 52k. Sorry forgot to add price, members.
1st Owner: Oregon
2nd Owner: Oklahoma

Engine bay Tags missing since Oregon...tried to locate first owner.
-- 2nd owner didn't bother to ask about them at his purchase date, or check for a bill of sale...etc (why?) LOL
-- I called the local Sherrif's department, and they said they are too busy to do any further checking for me.
