Yeah, I was pretty pissed too, that car was SO MINT...429 with a 4 speed and
functional hood scoop that you could open/close with a plunger on the dash
and it was red...nice. I took it to homecoming my senior year in HS. That
was nice. I think he got about 70K for it because it was so original. It
had all the hang tags still on everything inside and under the hood,
everything including the A/C worked great too. I was crushed when he sold
it, I wanted to buy it from him but he wouldn't let me, he used the money to
buy his little BMW M roadster as the new summer toy.
