Is this car in Ohio by chance? If yes, did your dad work at Lincoln-Mercury?
UPDATE: This was not the car I was thinking about, its a darker red and not in Ohio.
For anyone interested in the geographical location, this one is in Kentucky.

Did this car sell? Any contact or updates from potential seller?
This ain't no disco...It's Wichita.

Poof??
If it's for real, this car could bring $20K on Cars & Bids / BaT.
Of course, this would require work on the OP's part... LOTS and LOTS of pics and the car described in minute detail.
Then expect to throw some more $$$ at it to fix stuff that's broke from sitting. Let's start with those tires.
"Someone" already had this particular experience with the other model. But it ain't sitting now... it's a goer!!
