Location:   Anaheim, California
Owned:   1967

Mileage:   unknown
Condition:   In restoration
Originality:   unknown

Accessories included:   unknown

Notes:
This car was under restoration until owners died in 1985.  The high unit number is a factory error on the dataplate.

This car was sold new by Galpin Ford in San Fernando.  This may be a one-owner car.  It was advertised in the mid-1980s for $5,000 but had no takers.  It has been sitting outdoors neglected since the mid-70’s.  The present owners have refused all offers.
