1963 Sports
Roadster
Owner - Ross and Lorraine Reed
This
1963 Sports Roadster is owned by Ross and Lorraine Reed of Olathe, KS.
It was spotted by Lorraine from a train window in 1974 while the train
made a stop in Granby, CO. Some weeks later, Jim Reed, their son, while
on a business trip to Colorado traced it to an open field some miles removed
from its previous location. He purchased it for $65. (This is not a mis-print!)
$65.00. Two months later Ross towed it back to Kansas where it sat for
many years before the restoration began in the late 1980's. It was driven
to a VTCI Regional in Minneapolis in 1993 and to Indianapolis for another
VTCI Regional in 1995. It made the trip to Indianapolis again in 1999
and to Minneapolis in August of 2003 for another VTCI Regional where it
was crowned Best of Show.
