I purchased this car in 2011 with the goal of completing a frame off restoration and returning it to its original glory.  At this time the car is about 50% completed (rolling chassis with engine, transmission and drive-train rebuilt.  Body is close to being ready for paint, but interior and engine accessories still need to be completed.  All of the components appear to be with the car, and it is likely that some new glass may be required.  Over $90K invested.  Would like to get $45K and buyer pays all packing and transportation costs from Southern California.  Multiple videos showing the phases of restoration are posted on YouTube and the latest "Part 4" shows the status of the rolling chassis in storage today.  This car was owned previously by comedian Dick Smothers.
