Thanks for the warm welcome guys. The original owner was still in the same house when he passed away in 2008. I located the car about 10 minutes from the original owners house. From what I was told he was a blue collar guy that never traveled far from the Phoenix area. The last registration is from 1979 and it has the corresponding Arizona license plate. The car was vandalized through the years by neighborhood kids. Arizona does get monsoons so, I'm guessing 40 years of sitting out in the elements with the window sealant dried out and windows broken caused that rust. Cars in California and Arizona do rust if not stored properly. I'm not sure why the trim tag looks like that. The firewall is rock solid and the seam is not rusted like many of these are. I did receive some disturbing information regarding my old 67'. George Poteet ended up with that car and commissioned a full blown build with a roadster shop chassis. He at least kept the original paint and parts of the original interior. Just makes me cringe to think all the time I invested in making sure I left things "correct". I wonder where the original engine,transmission, wheels, and rear ended up?
