John says, "I bought this car a couple
months ago from a Rancher in Montana. The rancher is a friend of mine's
cousin. This Rancher had taken this car in trade several years ago
for breaking some horses for the previous owner. It had been sitting
out in the open for a while collecting dirt, mice and birds! I had
just sold one of my Barracuda's that same day and had gone to my local
Colorado Mopar Club meeting when some pictures were being passed around
to all the guys. Well, it finally made it to me and I said 'Sold!'.
I then had to call the rancher only to find out some one else wanted
the
car up in Montana but had never came back. The rancher said wait a
couple weeks more and if the other buyer did not show I can buy it.
Two weeks to the day I called and got the good news it was mine. I
sent the money the next day 'air' and then arranged a time to
make the 26 hour round trip from Denver to pick it up. Now it sits
in my garage being disassembled. It has some floor pan rust thru and
lower quarters but that's it. I picked up the swivel seats from my
friend Lee who had customized his '59 Sport Fury and a hood and floor
boards from a local salvage yard and now am only missing the drivers
door (mine is crinkled real bad) and the mouldings
for that door. The car is a Jet black car with a Red, White and Silver
interior originally."
