What a crazy story if true.... Car was ordered out of Mr Norm's in Chicago, burned in a garage fire, and sold to a guy who made it into a circle track car and basically destroyed it (assuming it was already pretty messed up from the fire). Retired in '67 and sat in a garage all these years. Kind of interesting but I wonder what a guy would really do with it considering the strong asking $$.
