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.

JIm,, great article and love the close-ups........ nice to see I'm going in the right direction with my '68 based on these additional pictures. Looks like I'll have to make the paint code markings on the torsion bar adjustment lever a little more sloppy..  :icon_smile_big:

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!

OK...this is a workbench!!
I shot this picture over twenty years ago, at the home of a local Mopar "re-saler"....
This particular car was a Sixpack R/T S/E originally purple, then black. Sitting on original tires.
I believe it eventually sold to an NHL player.

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.
