He sold the car to a guy that rebuilt it as a custom, and I think it was painted a 1980's era fushia color?

When we originally drug it home, he found over "thirty tickets" in the glove box. LOL Might be the same car?
You never know! It has a clear title now though. According to the previous owner the car was taken to Arizona from Southern California. The car was bone stock except for the wheels and other small things. Not much in the way of custom unless you include the proverbial Mexican blanket thrown over the back seat.

I would have hesitated cutting up the car but the pan and engine was not original and the interior and wiring was a complete mess. The front apron had been smashed in and garage fixed (if you know what I mean). The body was otherwise worth saving and just begging to be re-born as something completely different.
