“I purchased the E12 Camino from Brett Anderson from Koala Motorsports in Newberry , Ohio . He used it as a rolling billboard and parts runner for several years. Brett purchased it from Bill Arnold (3 time Targa Newfoundland winner ) and Tamara Hull (One Lap of America driver) , in a weird car transport, switch off in Texas type story with FrankenBav going from the East coast to the West coast, and Edgar going from the West coast to Ohio.
Jonathon Bush of Senior Six Registry was one of the drivers of this '4-wheeled square-dance'. Bill Arnold purchased it in California from a man that worked for Peter Sliskovich. Beyond that point, I'm lost.
I tipped off Peter about the E12 for sale earlier this week, he told me that car was Jesus's former car. One of Peter's employee's, Jesus owned the car prior to Bill Arnold getting it. Jesus still works for Peter. I was at Peter's shop a couple of weeks ago and Jesus is still there. Contact Peter at
[email protected] and ask Peter if Jesus knows the history before he got it.

Jesus has links to at least half of the interesting old BMW's that emerge from southern Cal.

So is that what Jesus would do? I never knew.

Apparently this car was named "Edgar".
It's been renamed "Rust Rod".
It'll never be nice. I just hope to make it safe and fun.

But at least it came as a kit with materials to affect repairs.

I tossed the fridge door in the dumpster. Too much work to use it. I'll just buy some sheet metal.

I welded some temporary seat supports in it today and drove it abt a mile with no floor. It drives well enough to justify fixing the floor.
It makes me laugh when I see it.

Cutting down an old car into a truck is an old time American thing. The guy my grandfather sold his Kissels to cut them down into trucks. That was in the late 20s.
