Yeah, it was nice Dave. He was the original owner as well. He had traded in a 67 Barracuda he had bought new for it. He custom ordered the 69. Asking was 4,000. Was a no console car, pretty much a stripper. Ran like a champ. I had cash burning a hole in my pocket, and he prompted me to let it loose on Hwy1. I asked him if I could put it through the gears, and I did. He laughed and said he had never drove it like that. It was just that it looked so plain. Then he opened the garage to show me the A56. It was a fastback, auto, striped and scooped as it should be. I really bugged him over that one. Offered him $6k cash, but he did not want to let it go. After a couple of visits to look over the white one, I eventually passed. In hindsight, it worked out well, because not two weeks later I saw an ad in the local Buy'n'Sell for a 69 Cuda 440. And YOU know how that ended... 292092
