In 1981 I bought a 12,000 mile '69 Indy Pace car from Fink Chevrolet in Horicon, WI. Mr. Fink left the car in the MSO until one week before I purchased the car from him. The car was on a grease rack for 12 years, they used the car in summer and had a trailer hitch on the car. If this car went through BJ today people would say, why does it have signs of a trailer hitch (drilled holes in the bumper and trunk), why did the dealer undercoat and Z Bart the car (who knows), where are the original tires (he changed them right away), why is the rear window changed on the soft top (cracked one winter), why is the front fender painted so horribly (sign fell over on the car)? It was a great car, but Mr. Fink didn't give a hoot about putting a trailer hitch on the car and drilling holes in the door jambs to rustproof the car, he put 10 gallons of undercoat on the car, also. He did all this to rustproof the car and then never drove it in rain or snow. What I'm saying is that folks did strange things to cars that they didn't drive, things that are contrary to logic like rust proofing and undercoating (heavily) a car that you're going to put on a grease rack and drilling holes in good bumpers and trunk for a trailer hitch. He also added a remote drivers side mirror and a passenger side mirror along with front and rear bumper guards.
