Found this via the internet. It turns out the guys kid now 35 years old pulled it apart one day (when he was 15) to rebuild it as his first car. The owner had already had it for ten years and parked it when it developed a bad oil leak. Well I guess this was not his first car to drive, good for me. I went to look the $2000 dollar car over and to my amazement it had very little rust (two small blisters about the size of a quarter) and had never been hit. Hell the battery tray was still in great shape. So needless to say I waisted no time sealing the deal, as there was a list of people who had called after me and may arive any second. In fact one guy got pissed off at the guy for sellingit before he had a chance to look at it (glad he did not show up before me). Well anyhow heres some pictures of my next big project (full show / magazine quality restoration)

Sorry guys it's a 61' ....

As far as what I'm going to do with it, I'm thinking if I build it for myself it's going resto custom stock body, interior, but a big motor and ?????? I'm thinking of offering to build it for someone else for a price. Then a lucky person can get a custom or stock car done the way they want it, with my twist of corse....

here is my other current ghia that goes up for sale soon....
