Is it known where the car was when owner #1 sold to #2?
Also, are you saying #2 bought it in ‘72 or do you know for sure when #1 sold it?
If any help, here’s a couple old Colorado Newspaper Ads, I saw others too but they noted different features or recent paint etc, first one may be most interesting from Fort Collins 11/70.
Looking forward to more of your car, including pictures also hearing you’ve landed the original engine!
