We had to pay a little more, but still way under what the going rate these cars are selling for and the guy had done quite a bit of maintenance work on it, so it wasnt bad still. Couldnt let the car slip away as we know its a super good car. Only reason they sold it was to finish the 56 Chevy custom we still have.

(Stuck a scanned old photo of the original car)

Well fast forward to today, we lost my grandmother a year ago and my grandpa was wanting to get the 61 back, was able to get in touch with the guy they sold it to a decade ago and he actually still had it and was ready to let the car go. So we sold some spare stuff, pooled our money together and got the car back. Needs a little TLC as the car has pretty much sat in the garage the last decade, but nothing crazy.
Wow. Pics of interior and bay?
