Her husband told her it was one of seven made and worth $250000. Showed her a Hemmings with 8 for sale, and at the time fully restored cars were selling for about $100k. Offered her $60k as the car only had 34k kms. on the clock, and had been parked since 1964. Still wonder who ever got it, because I'm sure she died still owning it.




WOW, that is beautiful
