Well, RATS!!! Just got the call I didn't want to hear. The last owner got in touch with my friend in NJ that wrote him a letter about the car. Yep....he owned it.....and sent it to a junkyard in 1985:frown::thumbsdown: The car was pretty far gone he said. :mad2:

I guess the search is over, and it was fun and exciting along the way with the anticipation I could have found it. Amazing the power of the Web!!:burnout:

Cheers:beers:

Dave,

So sorry she`s a goner...."The car was pretty far gone he said", but not by your hand....you would have done your Magic.

Perhaps you`ll find one similar and do a "Dad Tribute" :D

The web is powerful but need a 1.21 Gigawatt flux capacitor for this one.

Bummer.

Dave,

Sorry to hear the car is gone. A good friend of mine from my area recreated the 64 GTO convertible that his Dad bought new. He is having a ball with the car. It was a Lemans that the previous owner had put on GTO trim. My buddy did a few other mods and the car turned out beautifully.

Thanks, guys..... appreciate the replies. Meh..... tribute would be OK, but it's "Dad's" car I was after, not a look -a-like no matter how exact I could have made it. Oh well...it sure was a fun chase!

Cheers

Dave

Bummer but an awesome story nonetheless.
