Sorry your deal fell apart Dennis..
I've looked and can't find it but wasn't there a thread here about 6 months ago where someone was wondering if a Monaco Orange w/ Black hat L78 '69 Chevelle was their original car?.
I'm not talkin' about Roger's DH car that turned out to be a Copo but in the thread I'm thinking of there may have been two similar cars being discussed and one of the guys had broken his rear axle housing back in the day???
I could be nuts too but hate to stay silent if this could be another chance for the guy finding his car?.
