Very cool... what a killer looking car!
I even dig the day-2 look with those chrome slots.

Many thanks for the kind comments.

Yes, it's still mine. Must have been meant to be as I got the first email from the orig owner about TWO DAYS after coming back from AZ!! We're not hungry and the freezer is full - think I'll keep it!

There are a LOT of great car people out there - people that friendships mean more than car $$s. It's just those darn few bad apples.....

Dave,
You have my utmost congratulations and respect. THAT is the way to document a car! You've set the high water mark.

Dave,
Great tribute to the owner and the car. Many only dream of having an opportunity to receive information and photos like that from an original owner. I does nothing but add to the excitement and history of the car. Congrats and the new addition to the site.

Sorry Joe,
You have darn good documentation on your car too, since you still own the freakin' thing!!!!

Now why not get it out of the garage and give it some AIR????????????????? (once you get the pinholes in your tailpipes fixed)

You have a date with destiny...

Very cool Dave...congrats!

So often I am asked what the huge attraction is to muscle cars and why they bring such silly prices. That story and the photo's which cover the lifetime of the original owner sum it up better than any writer could ever describe IMHO.

That car and it's photographic history is the essence of the muscle car movement as we know it today I believe.
