So a little update to the story. The car was owned by Robert "Bob" Mashburn in Michigan. He purchased the car in 1983 from Walter Angst and sold it in 1984 to a high school friend named Kenneth Viola. Kenneth kept the car until 1987 , and from my understanding he may have sold it to someone in Orange, Mass. He also heard from his brother in law that it might have been seen last summer in Rindge, NH or possibly still in Orange, Massachusetts. If anyone might know anyone in the area with this car please PM me here.
We still do not have a VIN from the car, but pretty sure it was a U code 440 car originally. We do know it was bucket seat console 4 speed dana 60 car. I will also add some pictures that Mr. Mashburn shared.
