I know that one. It was a 'Cord body kit on a Mustang II chassis. The folks
who
owned the motel figured the car was worth at least $40,000.00 (I stopped and
asked every few years). It was thoroughly rotted, the body panels were warped
from things lying on them, etc.
The car has been gone now for a few years. I suspect that it went to the
landfill.
