This one was assembled the 4th week of April in Baltimore. It was purchased by Dr Wilson from Maple Buick Inc in South Orange, NJ. Shortly thereafter he moved to the DFW area for his practice. The car essentially has been in Texas its entire life and garaged. The second owner purchased from the Wilson estate in July 1997. Mr. McCurry Had an earl scheib type paint job done. He also enjoyed going to swap meets and obtained several used and nos parts that were included. After Mr. McCurrys death his son inherited the car. He is into motorcycles and was anxious to sell.
After a test drive and inspection by my painter who assured me the car was rock solid, no filler ect. I consulted John E and Dan A, who both helped me determine the car was numbers matching throughout, alternator, voltage regulator ect.Other then the aforementioned re paint, the car had later model 14 rallye wheels on it. It was delivered with steel wheels and the knock off hubcaps. Otherwise the car is very much unmolested.
I was able to strike a deal, and last winter I disassembled the car and it was delivered to my body man. The same gentleman restored my 68 GS400 convertible that won Senior Gold Concours its first showing at the BCA in Ames, IA. The car is documented by the protect-o plate, and all manuals. I have not found a build sheet. It currently has 61,500 miles.
This photo was after driving it home last spring. Nice 10 footer eh ?
