I've been doing a little research on the original owner of my 1978 NYB. I did find the one and only title from the original owner. The car came from Wellsville, Pa. The NYB had 41,887 when I bought it. It sat outside and didn't run for almost 30 years. The original owner bought and registered the NYB in Pennsylvania on 3/2/1978. He was a religious philosopher and writer and did a lot of volunteer work at prisons. He also was rolling up and down I-83 and the Penn. Turnpike broadcasting on the am/fm/cb factory radio to truck drivers and whoever would listen to him. The NYB didn't fare well being outdoors for all those years. It took me almost a decade to get all the rust, bodywork paint and vinyl done. The original owner had a black vinyl top put on it it. You couldn't get a black vinyl top on a B3 car from the factory.
The rust was brutal under the vinyl, around the rear window and the rear quarters.
Bodywork done and new paint and vinyl.
