New England winters are not kind to steel, even the big American stuff! The last time I saw the car was in 1978 or so, and at that point there was nothing below the doors, and the passenger side torsion bar socket had rusted out and left the car literally sitting on the ground on the right front corner. I think my dad left it where it was and took $50 for the car from the first guy who looked at it.
I have fond memories of that car, I remember 'driving' it down dirt roads for 10 miles at a clip with my father pushing the gas and brake pedals when we went to visit family in Moncton, New Brunswick. I could barely see over the dashboard. That had to be 1970 or 1971 (before the Toyota), so I was all of 5 or 6 years old then! And I remember going to see my first drive-in movie in that car with my family, it was 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. It was a pretty cool car...
