Hi Tom
Yea i know it sounds a little crazy with the car pulled apart for 37 years
But I think My brother just lost interest and then got married with 4 children later and was in no rush to complete the car
plus I'm sure money was probably an issue as he knew how much it would cost to do a proper restoration
He did consider Julius the Grandfather of Mopar's Restorations to do the car.
If I recall the quote was over $100K to restore it.
so he wanted to do it right but time and money was not on his side.
He did not want it to rust away.
The fellow who purchased the car does great restorations and has had a few of his Mopar's in Mopar Action magazine
so I hope to see it one day in the magazine when is completed.
