Your friend must have bought that car up in Round Lake, IL. I stopped and looked at it one day about two years ago now because the body shop had it out along the curb on Rte 134 with a "For Sale" sign. Do you know what he paid for it? I asked the guy at the body shop at the time and he said he wanted $15K firm, even though it needed an engine and restoration, although he said the car was taken off the road in (I think he said) 1980 and had been stored indoors ever since.
