Just taking a chance that you or someone may have known or seen my first car? F5 green with gold mist highlights on the body.

I actually traded a guy outright., my car for his. His wife was pregnant and she couldn't take the harsh ride, so he asked if I would trade my '62 olds starfire, a beautiful candy wine red. We agreed, and he gave me everything that went with the car. I eventually had the motor bored out to 426 cubes. I don't remember what the color was called but it was somewhat of an electric blue, white convertible top. Many fond memories with that car. Dave ss/ea #1355

nutso suave I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 11,500 delivering your oil	My first mopar was a green on green 1969 Coronet 500. I paid $1200 and it needed brakes. The previous owner had painted it (poorly) and swapped a 440 for the original 318. She had a few dents and dings and bent bumpers. It had a thrashed interior and the front and rear window trim was missing. She was fast, loud, and fun! I had the front end rebuilt, brakes repaired, and did a few other improvements. Eventually, I sold it to a guy and his son who were going to restore it…I wonder where it is now?
