This 2 owner car has an interesting history. It started it's life in Southern California. First owner was a woman, ho sold the car to the second owner in the early 80's. He drove the car daily until around 1986 and kept meticulous records. Car was last registered in CA in 1986. In the early '90 the owner relocated to Seattle area, rought the car along and continued keeping it garaged. Fast forward 20+ years, e sold the car to me. The car was still completely original, ust and damage free and unmolested. It wasn't a cheap buy.
