Vin isn't gone, can't read it. Lady that owns it says it a 53 and she has the last regestration. It was parked in 62 when her son was killed in Nam. She called a laywer and decided she wants to keep it and told us nicely that she didn't want anyone around anymore. She"s 93 and as sharp as a tack. Since we worked on the engine in her garage and took it apart she told us that her gransone want's the car and to leave it like it is. End of story.
