Ironically enough, yes I am familiar with that car. It was owned by a somewhat heavy set gentleman with a beard. He used to attend a ton of the local cruise-ins & car shows here in Jacksonville.
I also know he was BIG time into auto-crossing the car. I think he did a lot of racing here:

It is is pretty good condition so far. Pulled to the right so I took it to my shop and aligned it today. Would like to get in touch with him to get some background on the car
