I bought the car in Orange Park Florida from a retired gentlemen in April 2013. He said he bought the car from a collection, he car had been frame off restored 4 years earlier (2008). As of today, ince full restoration (rear axle forward), he car has 5700 miles.
The car VIN starts with 136 which means the car started life as a V8 car at the factory but not a true 138 Big Block Car. The car is a clone SS.
