@@Sir.VicsMasher -- Same happened with my 71 Chevelle. I couldn't take it out of the garage unless I was going to be literally with it the entire time. Just prior to selling it, my wife and I drove it on a dinner date and, coming out of the restaurant, there was a guy literally trying to open the doors so he could "look inside" (or so he said). Dude! On what planet is it okay for you to try to get inside SOMEONE ELSE'S car? So... it was the early 2000s. Today, I probably could have gotten double what I sold it for, but it would have been a royal pain in the ass to sit on it that long as it collected dust in my garage, which honestly isn't that big. I miss that car, but... it just wasn't worth the hassle.

On the topic of tracking down cars I am 12 years old and I was able track down my grandfathers 1966 Jaguar E-type 4.2 roadster at age 11 I was able to find some of the paperwork from when my grandfather bought the car new in 1966 The invoice had the vin number so i was trying to find websites to help me track it down but at car show I told another e type owner some information about the car and the parts of the story I know about it he recommended a website called xke data .com so a couple days later I remembered the website I went on the website I put in the Vin number in there it is It is owned by a place called econic cars And the owner of the shop Had my grandfather’s car as his own personal car we emailed the owner of the shop he said he was happy to know why there was all the rust damage and water damageWill get to why there was that damage later So here is the entire story of the car or what I know of it my grandfather bought it new in 1966 and it was stolen 2 times over the years and those times it was stolen it was dumped by the Boston Harbor and the salt water caused it to have a lot of corrosion problems Then it became a restoration project my grandfather passed away in 1997 and some family problems had happened in the car ended up going somewhere getting sold and since there was family problems my dad or my aunts never got told where the car went fast forward to now I was able to track it down and I plan one day when I grow up i will get that car back in the family

OK, found it. "By 1939, Gregorie had designed wider twin grilles for the Lincoln-Zephyr, so it followed that he would take the same approach for the Speedster. He redesigned the Speedster's front end by shortening the upper grilles and fabricating a wide, horizontal grille for improved cooling. The new design, which required extensive modifications to the hood, was likely completed in 1940."

Gees and for years I wondered about the BULLITT Mustang Steve McQueen, up until last year, when it came out of it's old home. Considering back when the Movie was made the car was worth $3,890 and to make the car withstand the beating on the San Francisco Street Jumps. Subframe was not re-enforced to sustain a beating on the Shock Tower, there were also brackets added to hold the large Camera Rig This cost $5,000 more adding to it's value. In 3 different occasions Steve McQueen tied to buy BULLITT. The Final Attempt was in 1977 for $38,000. To put in perspective, a Cadillac cost $6k to $11K a Rolls Royce was $25K, Ferrari 308 GTB in 1977 sold for $14,000, and the 1977 Mustang II sold for $3,600 to $3,800 \ Thanks for finding this Historic Piece of American History it's sorry is as spectacular as The BULLITT Mustang 👦🏻👍🏻💥🏎
