I would think if any one knows the car or owners it would be Randy from grand Automotive in Desplaines. Last time I talked to Randy he owned a marine buisness called Powerbrokers they were in Villa Park but has since moved. A search shows they are know in Itasca 630 775 1100 I do not even know if Randy still owns it or not.

Bob as far as I remember they were owned by the same owners. I remember the one in Broadview and the one in Desplaines. Not sure if there were any others.

I think there was one on Green Bay Road in Waukegan, they always had some hot Mopars there including a Yellow A990.
