I'm patient in finding my projects, usually to the extent that they fall in my lap. In this case, 2 years ago curiosity paid off. While traveling on business I called reguarding an add in the paper, and went to see this car. The same day I bought it for $550 and drove it the 270 miles home. I've yet to do any bodywork on it, but I have done some repair after a few electrical mishaps.
This one is a 1962 model by the VIN, but titled as a 1963, a common situation with imports in the 60's as they were titled when they were imported. not when they were built.
