I think it’s time for a little background info before I go any further.
When I was purchasing the car I asked the seller if he knew the vehicle’s
history. He told me he was the third owner, and that he knew the first and
second owners very well. A older lady [family friend] bought the car new,
and after driving it for a few years sold it to her son. The seller bought the
car from the son for his daughter to drive.
While looking the car over I asked him three times if the car had been in
any accidents. And of course he said ‘no’ each time. I admit that I was
ignorant on what to look for when buying an old car. There is an old
saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words!”
Here are some pictures taken during the stripping / cleaning of the
body; you decide if he was being truthful or not…
