Kong Jackson bought it and drove it home to Glendale the next day. It still smelled new inside. I will not say what Kong paid. He said not to.
A few years later my dad bought a 37 Standard Coupe with 38K miles and almost perfect. Fit was excellent.
Both cars mentioned did not have the original miles on it. They came from Montgomery Ward as replacement miles

Tim, is that the '40 Coupe that is in Don Garlits Museum in Ocala, FL now? Don gave me the same history of the car when we shot the "Big Daddy" Don Garlits V8 Museum Tour video.
