Born in Germany and delivered to Los Angeles in 1972. Purchased by Mark Koffman 11/21/1972.
Mark owned the car until June of 1987 where the car relocated to Texas. Larry Torrence owned the car a short time. I believe he passed away and the car was sold to Mr. Dearing in September 1990. John had the car serviced at Mayo in Euless and I've known Ed and Chris a long while. My understanding is that John's wife hated everything about this car. No air, carb motor with those fantastic smells did not sit well with the wife. Based on what Chris knew about the service history, John drove the car just enough for it to always need something. The car had a lot of neglect.
Based on the body work alone it seems to catch the brunt of many years, parked in a garage packed full of kids bicycles and had the dents to prove it. I took it on last year.
I've got it this far:
Motor and Transmission are not in the car at this point.
