Ownership History

From the seller: "This vehicle holds significant personal and sentimental value to me, as I inherited it from my boyfriend after his passing three years ago. He had owned the car for over 30 years, having purchased it from a previous owner long before I knew him. Over the years, he invested a great deal of time, effort, and care into the vehicle, completing a full restoration. It was a true passion project for him, and he took great pride in rebuilding and maintaining it.

During the restoration process, he located what is believed to be the original build sheet inside the car. The document shows signs of age and has grease on it from being hidden within the vehicle for many years. While we do have this build sheet, I cannot definitively prove through documentation that the vehicle is an SS. However, throughout his ownership and based on what he was told when he purchased the car, it has always been understood and represented to be an SS.

This car represents not only a classic piece of automotive history but also a meaningful connection to someone very important in my life. The decision to sell it has not been easy, and I hope it goes to someone who will appreciate and care for it as much as he did."
