quote Originally posted by Archie: Actually i think the car has had only 3 owners. I believe Rich bought the car new. When Rich died & the NIFE club helped us finish up the conversion to the PPE, his wife tried to sell it twice. Two different people at seperate times mailed a down payment to her then came to pay it off & take it home. In true car buyers style they both tried to beat her up a little on the price by critiquing the car to get the price down. She wouldn't have anyone beating up on Riches' dream car, So she promptly refunded their deposits & sent them packing. The 2nd time she called me up crying about the whole experience, she didn't want to have people beating up on his car just to save a few $$. I agreed to buy the car & then resell it to someone who would appreciate it. I had the car for several months but I never put it in my name & only drove it a couple of times. I sold it to the guy that you bought it from. So AFAIK, you're the 3rd owner. Archie

Archie, thanks for posting this information. I have been piecing together as much history as I can and this helps a lot Also, thank you for keeping your original advertisement for the car on the internet. It is a good record of the car at that point in time.

I guess that is something to consider. I believe to do it right you have to put a new accumulator in the car as well. Thanks for the input. I was thinking of robbing the R-12 from my old conversion van before I sell it.
