When she and her husband, Tom Wise, who served in submarines in the Navy, were living in Charleston, South Carolina, in the late 1960s, the car stayed garaged with her parents in Chicago, rather than piling up miles on the road.
And when Tom Wise decided he could no longer drive the aging car to work in Bellwood in 1979, he simply stashed it away in his garage in Park Ridge until he was ready to restore it 27 years later.
The Mustang has just 68,000 miles on the odometer.
Tom Wise said the fastback Mustang was introduced in the fall of 1964 along with a souped-up engine with a more robust than his 168-horsepower model.
