1960 Canadian Standard, purchased by the current owner in 1966 during a family vacation to the west coast when their Bus threw a rod. He had the dealership install a trailer hitch so they could bring the tent trailer home 2500 miles. He kept it as a second car for a while, then stored in a barn from the mid 70s until a couple of years ago, until the barn started to fall down.

After a couple weeks of waiting, I finally got the green light to pick up this 67 that’s been sitting for the last 25 years due to a broken clutch pedal. Good times!

Just got this 63 today. Needs glass (hoodlum kids) and a 40 horse. Pretty solid Texas car. |

Saw this on a side street today. Looks like the engine is gone.
