She traded it in 1973 for a MGB GT. The 2nd owner bought it in 1973 from the dealer and Rarely used the car. He had the car striped to bare metal in 1974 and had the car repainted in the factory color. Apparently the original owner would park the car under a shade tree at work and the tree sap etched the paint to a point the 2nd owner had it repainted. After painting the car he kept the car rust proofed with oil in all the seams the doors the Bonnet the trunk Rockers the rear quarters everything.

It is straight out of storage with all the dust just the way I found it. The car currently has a header but it has the original manifolds and shield .
