Just follow the links on the left hand side of the page. In addition to the restoration journal, you'll find lots of technical reference material, and even some audio/video. HistoryThe car was purchased on April 30th, 1968, in West Allis, Wisconsin (a suburb of Milwaukee). The original owner, whom I have contacted and was kind enough to send me some pictures of the car when he owned it, drove it for 36000 miles. My Dad bought it in 1970. I even remember the day he brought it home (I was four)! From '70 to '76, it was the family car; fetching groceries, taking the family to the drive in movies (me and my sister would fall asleep in the back with the seat folded down). By 1976, it had 73000 miles on it. No longer needed, it was parked in the garage and largely forgotten.In 1986, I needed a car, so it was unretired. After the mice were evicted and the carburetor was rebuilt, I had a driver. I drove it until college graduation, in 1988, moving the odometer up to 86000 miles. During these two years, the radiator core and master cylinder were replaced, and I did a really lousy job of filling some small holes in the quarter panels. I got a job and purchased a new car. Once again, she was placed in the garage (but not forgotten), and collected dust until January 2001. SpecsThe car was never previously restored; numbers match.Originally:
