About
This lonely car in need of some serious TLC, sat on a hill in early December, over 20 years ago. I heard of this car and when I saw it, immediately I knew I had to give her the attention she desperately needed. 50 dollars held it, till I could come up with the money. The day came to tow it home, and I knew I had to sit in it while it was being towed by a tow bar.
