George 3037 made some very good points and has a great looking car himself. Not being into buying/restoring older cars & trucks, but definitely love looking at them when done. Should you buy it and not sure who to contact about doing what you want to do, I'd suggest contacting someone from the Syracuse Nationals Car Show that's held each summer here in Syracuse, NY. Think their website is: Syracusenationals.com. I could be wrong, but hope George 3037 can correct me, I think this show attracts hot rod cars from all over the country incl Canada. Upwards of several thousand cars/trucks and 75,000 people attend. So my thinking is that if OP goes to the website, they can point him in right direction.
