Well Motown, you certainly have my interest. Milan would have been a likely drag strip for this car to have run. As for Orange Yenkos, it looks like Minneman in Youngstown actually sold 2 twin cars and no others in the area show up but remember, we are only talking about 100 or so miles from Canonsburg so anything is possible. As to your questions about the cars hibernation, in extensive conversation with the 26 year owner it seems the car was just never out anywhere, he was out of the hobby, lived off the beaten path and never tried to do anthing with the car for over two decades. As I said previously, a buddy of his goes to GM Carlisle and supposedly tried asking around but it seems I am the only one that smelled blood when I heard the cars description and "just north of Pittsburgh" mathched up to this long ago dead-end lead I had. Once I found the guy by phone and he learned why I was calling, he gave me the cars VIN in about the first minute of our conversation. One of the nicest, honest, genuine gentleman I ever dealt with. In the first ten minute phone call I established 1. VIN was a hit. 2. Cars description matched registry. 3. "of course you can see it, come down anytime" 4. "Ya, I'd probably sell it" From there it sorta went like this: Did you ever see the Sienfeld where Jerry calls Kramer to see if he wants in on the Chinese food order and he doesn't even have the phone hung up and Kramer is sliding in the door ? I think I was at this guys house about that fast. From there it was easy, looked over the car, established a relationship, and worked thru a very friendly price negotiation. Total elapsed time from first phone call to title tranfer.....3 weeks. Total nights of sleep over those 3 weeks-none. It was great......where's the next cold case to chase?
