Wow John! Let me connect some dots and you tell me if I am probably right. I went to the James B Murphy auction of the hemicuda vert. Very interesting.

Around the same time, at the Graham show, Tacoma chapter of Mopars Unlimited, a couple guys trailered in an FC7 R code 70 hardtop cuda with I think a black vinyl top. They had a joking sign in the window "for sale or part". Car stayed on the trailer, it was just parked at the swap meet area.

Could this be car your front end went to?
