I didn't even know I was going to buy a LBC when I went out on that fateful
day back in 1984. I bought the first and only LBC that I looked at. From
an investment standpoint, it was the worst $975 I ever spent. In the
ongoing process of repair, restoration, and upgrades, I have concluded that
I have yet to replace the steering column, the front hubs, and the vin
plates. Everything else has been replaced at least once, including the body
shell.
