It was the guys college car in his last year of college - 1969. He bought it new and drove it just over a year and put 13,000 miles on it. He graduated and quickly got a job where he had to travel alot. He parked the car at his mothers house. He met a girl, got married and the car was kind of forgotten. All the Barrett-Jackson stuff on TV prompted the guy to put the car up for sale.

Lot's of cool stories Dave. The kid had the brains to get the stick, 4.10 etc. back then. He actually ordered a big block Camaro and the dealer lost it. So he went to the Plymouth dealer in Toronto (still here) and said if you can deliver this car in 4 weeks I'll buy it!

I have boxes of old issues (mostly sixties). One of my faves is the 70 Challenger 440 Six Pack......"The Houston Astrodome sized engine" and, "another shrimp-sized rig to get a big motor" or something like that.
