History
Purchased from the 2nd owner in October of 2017. The previous owner "Greg" bought it from his dad's friend in 1970 as his first car in high school. Was his daily driver from then until 2016. California car.
Was sideswiped at some point - so the driver side rear corner panel skin was replaced and repainted. The original 283 was rebuilt twice since '66.
