Old Newspaper Classified Ads

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: galveston</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wade, I was in high school when this came up for sale and a good friend of mine went to look at it, It was on 20th St. south of Indian School Rd. at a small house with extra parts laid out on the lawn, (shaker parts etc.) he went for a ride expecting the owner to &quot;get on it&quot; but never did. I frequently saw the car around town, couldn't miss the velocity stacks. My friend still remembers clearly that day like it was yesterday. </div></div>
That is so cool Shaun, thanks for sharing. And thanks to sYc and all, I agree, this has been a very fortunate connection, I can't thank Pete enough. Keep 'em coming Pete, I'm sure others will find a connection as well.

Here are ads for what must be the car starting w/ Jan/73 @ 5000 miles but different phone # so probably previous owner, maybe the original?
Two months later is the Mar/73 ad and odo @ 5600 miles also same phone # over the next few years as ads to follow.
Note the mileage accumulating in some ads also 2'nd phone # @ Mar/73, we can try searching this later if you need.
The last four ads are cars he advertised before/during/after the Cuda, July/72 '64 Impala 'Vert, July/73 '68 Mustang, July/76 '70 GS also '69 Vette which may be what he traded the Cuda for and lastly, the July/79 ad w/ the 442 'Vert.
There's other ads I can lay on you if needed too also if any help backtracking, it looks like Maureen's surname may be Graham?
Best of luck Wade and here comes a PM also one to you too Shaun.

Too cool!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Wow Pete, just Wow... This is off the charts cool. As I mentioned I know Bob Graham applied for a title in Feb-1973, so almost certainly the Jan-1973 ad you found is from the previous owner. And the tracking of the accumulating mileage through this ad history is just awesome. The Graham brothers may have tried for years to sell their poor Cuda in exchange for a Vette, but during that time they sure enjoyed it, to the tune of 15k in miles! Awesome stuff Pete, just awesome, thanks so very much for posting!
