(I thought that was who sold the crossram - not who it was mailed to. DOH!)
I bought the car just to get the engine and then quickly resold the race car. It was so heavily tubbed and modified in the back and the firewall, so I would have had to buy an extra 68 Dart just to acquire the rear wheel wells to restore it back.
I never bothered to buff out the paint or look closer. Had I sanded just a little I would have found Dick Landy's original paint job underneath it all.
It turned out to be this car.
Ugh!
