I learned about the discovery last year. It was only 15 miles from me! I worked most of my life in the town were it was found. It sold at auction in unrestored condition near $500k.
I didn't know Wayne C. was the buyer of if sold it at the auction and just saw this episode the other night.
No telling how many times I drove by the car while working in the same town. There use to be a monthly cruise-in, lots of car people, etc....and I never heard a word about it. I guess he wanted to keep it quite.
