'Miss Dorothy'
I am the third owner, since 2005, when the previous owner Miss Dorothy Osradker passed away. The original owner bought it in 1964, but traded it back in for something sportier. Miss Dorothy bought it in 1965 and drove it for the next 40 years. I started helping her care for it around 1995 and am extremely grateful she allowed me to carry on in her memory. 'Miss Dorothy' is as original as possible and my plan is to keep her that way. No restorations, no modifications (except safety), just a drivable survivor to be enjoyed and appreciated. Milestones: 2005 - less than 83,000 original miles 2019 - 2nd place at the 2019 Nationals 2024 - new gas tank, new tires, and a carburetor rebuild 2025 - new dual master cylinder, discovered the original factory a/c still works, and drove it 610 highway miles over two days to her new home in Columbus, OH with only one major mechanical issue!
