Funny what you find in your back yard!

It took an enthusiast from half way round the world to let me know that his was less than 60 miles from me. This is HLS30-00869.

No, I picked it up for a friend in Europe. I am going to pull the engine and build a period correct race engine with this early engine for him. I wish it were mine!

I installed my Libre wheels to get it off the trailer looked great. It is now on stands, the engine is out and on it's stand and the parts are bagged tagged and on it's cart. Anxious to get back to it tomorrow morning.

I almost hate to ask but what town was this located in?  There was a green car that was near my house that went up for sale a couple weeks ago and caught a lot of attention. It was less than 60 miles from my house.

I tried to find back the history of my mustang to, but so far no luck.

I am so confused. The car I have posted is HLS30-00869 pre 1970 production date. It belonged to a William Taylor a Coronal in the USAF. Abandoned at a body shop in 1988 in Fairborn, Ohio which boarders Wright Patterson AFB. So Robert Hertel, Jr was the first owner of this car? Who was his dear friend that he sold the car to? There is no Campbell in the line of ownership mentioned in my post. Signed Confused

That's his "signature" Mr Purcell.  I assume it's his car? but nothing to do with yours I'm guessing.  I had to look at his profile myself, I was also confused.
