Tom, this car is gorgeous! I’ve been trying to find this exact car for the same reason as the previous owner, it was my fathers first car as well and I know he would love to own one again, and I would love to be the one to get it for him. If you ever want to sell please reach out to me. My name is Brian and I live in NY. My phone number is 5167884264. Perhaps you could even lead me in the right direction to find another, it seems you have had quite a bit of experience with these. Thanks!
