Thank you for all the great pictures and write ups. I was there, but this is the perfect link to send to all the people I'm trying to convince to join me next time. One question- do Mustangs and Fords exist in the MRAYS universe or are they just considered obstacles to getting good pictures of things next to them? ( ;-) lol)

The 409 cars are some of my favorite's. When I was a kid back in the early 80's there used to be a 62 Impala SS 409/409 that would show up at our local track on occasion. It was Tuxedo Black with a red interior and was an unrestored car that had been raced in the 60's. It ran mid 12's and was owned by R. Kopanski. I always enjoyed watching that car run and have liked 409 cars ever since then. </div></div>

You refering to the 62 409 originally owned by a guy named Bob Zezula? Sure sounds like it by the description.

This 70 Cuda convertible is a 4 speed car and is an original N96 Shaker hood car with the V68 stripe delete. It was also built on the first day of production and is thought to be the first Six Pack Cuda convertible produced since the VIN is 100004.

I've got a question about this car.

The &quot;Hockey Stick&quot; stripe was not standard on the 'Cuda, so it ordinarily would not have an V68 code to signify a stripe-delete.

So could this be a quirk with the first day of production?

Thanks for the pics Vern! That helped confirm the air cleaner. The pics you posted had the period correct air cleaner. The previous posted L78 has an LT-1 air cleaner.

Thanks Verne....that's the one.I met and chatted with the woman who was co owner , what a delightful gal.....that car was one of my favorites from the show....just a spectacular untouched 50 year old car with only 28K miles....you just don't see cars like this very often especially Impalas!

Good question. I need to look at some original tags for non-striped 70 'Cuda's. I know there will be a blank under the &quot;V&quot; box on the broadcast sheet....no &quot;8&quot;
