I bought this OTS from a UGA professor in 1992. I paid $3,500 and the car was ready for a full restoration then. I didn't get around to it until 2011 when I called Loyd Gillespie of Mt Airy, NC who picked up the car and finished it in Mid 2013. Total spent: $238,000. It has won at all shows entered. Will be auctioned off at Amelia Island next February 2018.
