CONGRATS Jose! Talk about a rare piece! Factory 4.56s. Can't be too many black L78s with 4.56s. I can't believe none of the previous owners you've spoken to drag raced the car....

Not yet anyway. Hopefully we can track down the next guy. Stuck in 1981 so far.

I've made contact with the previous owner Alan Mason through his family. He bought the car in 1980 in the fall of his senior year while attending Logan High School in Ohio. The car was parked on Maysville-Williams road with a for sale sign, he made an offer and the owner accepted. He is still trying to remember the name of the owner who sold it to him.

According to Alan, it had the original "Turbo-Jet 396" in it, the interior was cherry and the car looked great. Alan said he (CORRECTION JOHN GOSS blew non original 396) blew the motor, pulled it, and is still trying to remember what he did with it.

I have a lot more questions for him but one thing at a time. He was excited to know his car is still around and will call me back once he finds his photos of the car!

Very cool that you've made that contact. Hopefully he comes up with some pics for you.

I hope he comes up with that "Turbo-Jet 396" for you!!

That's awesome. With a little time I bet his memories will come back since he's thinking about it.

More photos as found to me. Today I successfully took delivery of the car. If there are more photos I should take to document the car please comment thank you.

If original sheetmetal, get pics of the "week stamps" on cowl, door inners, quarters, fenders, firewall, etc. Going to be a stunning car when done!
