Anyone remember this car from around here?
www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=1577.1
Car was from Akron, original owner bought it new and in 66 stored it away. Car was a legend as a lot of people knew of it, but did not know exactly who owned it or where it was. I was asked about it a hundred times over the years and thought it was an Urban Legend. As it turned out, I ran into the guy around 1995 and he was in the middle of having a professional restoration done on it. Paid about 40 grand for the resto.
Car was about 3 miles from where I lived in Akron all those years but was in the garage............
Car sold for $179,200 at Barrett Jackson.................
