A little story about my father and this car.  My dads hobby was cars!  You can see from the article attached from the British Car Magazine.  He was a retired Nuclear Engineer and he did just about everything himself. He made his own tools.  He learned how to sew and bought his leather from Europe.   He bought this car for $400 in 1965 when I was 5 years old.  I have watched it evolve over the years and to me it's like a piece of art.  After he passed, I wanted to keep it as part of my share of the trust.  She's like a piece of Art done by my father.  She's beautiful and it will hurt my heart to see her go.   She needs to go to a someone who will drive her and show her off like me dad did.  This is coming from Daddy's little girl.  I used ride shot gun under neath the Tonto cove,  peaking out as we drove down Ventura Blvd in the SF Valley
