Why did you buy this car?
I’ve loved Mopars all my life. I didn’t want to “spend the farm” on hobby car, so that limited my choices (making most B & E body cars out of my price range). I stumbled across this car in 2002 at the Romeo Peach Festival. I spoke with the owner (Jim Borg) and couldn’t strike a deal. I saw the car again at the 2003 Woodward Dream Cruise and made a deal with Jim. It had everything I was looking for.
