I moved to Wakefield in 1997 and have been watching that car ever since!
A friend of mine used to work on it way back when it was on the road so he may have some history you don't know. If I remember correctly, Rick bought it off a priest in Melrose in the 80's. I recall the Priest had the TA and a early 70's Corvette as well. My kind of Priest!

You know, it's funny, Rick mentioned he had to choose between the T/A or a 70-72 Corvette. I wonder if that was the Vette?
Picked up a set of 70 seats from a fellow member the other day. They need foam and covers, but the tracks and frames are very nice.
