History
Car originally purchased by William Gates Sr, the father of Bill Gates, new in 1981. It was then sold to their family dentist who shipped it to florida when they moved away from the seattle area. A few years later the dentist's family sold it to some friends who had it shipped to their home in California. For the next 10 years it is unknown what actually happened with the car as it was found in a barn in California in really good condition. I am unsure how the individual I purchased the car from obtained the car, but I purchased it in April 2016 for a bargain price.
