1st owner was my sisters best friends dad, sisters friend drove it a while. Dad bought it for my other sister to learn engines. She rebuilt the engine then lost interest. Dad kept it for years to keep me busy when I visited. Dad gave it to me around 1994. I got it running and drove it a while, got tired of trying to keep up with the little stuff. Parked it a couple years then tore it down and did a complete restoration.
