Fathers Lost Yenko Chevelle #358034 Butternut

[njsteve]

I would add to the above addition with this: When I traded that old Vega to the car lot and went and picked up that rusty old Cuda from the wrecking yard, the Cuda still had all the ID and personal paperwork of the Air Force employee (didn't show whether he worked there or was a serviceman) but it had all sorts of his personal paperwork still in the glove box. The guy was from Rochester, NY. The dilapidated car had been towed away from the base after being left there for an extended period of time. Since it was a 12 year-old, rusted out, used car with 120,000 miles on it, no fabric on the convertible top frame and no real quarter panels left, it was just a disposable car left behind by someone for someone else to get rid of.

That could have been what initially happened to the Chevelle - someone on the base with no connection to the car, or knowledge of the tragedy that befell the owner, had it towed away by a yard and a subsequent buyer then put it back on the road and retitled it as a formerly abandoned vehicle.
