Then he bought that from Mr Grentz...( I still have his phone number) an old fellow that lived off of exit 16 on the NJ Turnpike. A friend of mine and I drove up on a Sunday morning to see it when it was for sale in 2000. Mr Grentz had 3 sheds in the back of his small yard. One had a 55/6/7 T bird ( not sure what year it was) inside it, another had something from the 20's in it. I dont recall what the 3rd one was for but I dont think it was for the Polara.
When we arrived on that Sunday morning it was raining pretty hard. The car was decent but I really couldnt crawl over it because of the rain. I was also much less educated on these cars then as I am now. Obviously the car was red with a 383 , black top & interior and had air conditioning and drum brakes. The car had some water intrusion around the top area and some aftermarket wires along the wiring harness. I was much more finicky then and looking for a more particular car with different options. He wanted $4,500. for that car then..
After we left the Grentz residence we drove through New York City into a well to do neighborhood to look at a Yellow 70 ragtop. That fellow also wanted $4,500. for his car. It was originally Silver with a 383 and again drum brakes. Obviously I didnt purchase either.
Back then I was holding out for a disc brake car and I also wanted a Superlite. I was also looking for certain colors and I wanted a white interior. After several year of looking I realized I was looking for that needle in the proverbial hay stack ...
So, you are saying this car is now in the Mt Holly area?
