RE: Our Polara in North Carolina

[Nick Tiberio <furyus63@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert,

I stopped to view the car on the way to Florida. Prior to my arrival I 
made a phone call for a viewing and was told that there was a buyer. It 
went no further and I think this was the first time the car was for 
sale. In any case you are the new owner of a great ride.
