I just got off the phone with one of the previous owners of my cars father.
Im really excited.....I found some work performed receipts when I bought the car but until now never acted on it. I contacted one of the names and it turned out to be the owners father. he told me a little about the car mostly that it was the fastest car he'd ever driven. :yesnod:
He gave me his sons number but unforturnetly he wasnt home. :'( Ill try again later or tomorrow. :yesnod:
I should have done this 20 years ago.....but it sounds like there may be some info to gain. maybe no documentation but Ill settle for a conversation.

Which car the 68 RT conv
no Dave, the Superbird.
I received a call from the son who was the owner last night before I went into work.
I talked to him for over an hour! :yesnod: I found out a lot about the car. the nose is a replacement which I thought was the case but wasnt clear on. his brother backed into the nose in the driveway and smashed it up pretty good. He was almost talked into a fiberglass replacement but decided to go for the steel piece they had to have shipped in from out of state. he spun a bearing in the motor racing the same brother. :RantExplode: He bought the car in 1977 at age 16 for 2500.00 and sold it in 1982 for 8,000.
He's going to send me some documents he has from the car! :popcrn:
also mentioned he hung around with a guy named Eckbird? who had two 'Birds and then added a Daytona....anyone know him?
He is also sending me the name of the owner he bought the car from! :cheers: hopefully that person was the original owner! :angel:
stayed tune! :nana:
