As a teen in the early to mid 80's I used to admire this car from the window of the school bus as we pulled into the middle school parking lot where it was parked on nice days. It belonged to the art teacher, and I would periodically see it around town as well. After I graduated in 1986 I saw him one day and asked him if he would be interested in selling it. He said not at that that time, but he took my number and said he would hold onto it. Years passed and in 1997 I got the call. He had kept my number in the glove box for all those years! Needless to say, it moved home to my house. I loved it but 2 years later I sold it to my brother when I bought my T/A, because he was a duster guy, and was always pestering me to buy it. I had my 6bbl cuda, 68 R/T coronet, 383 SE challenger, and now a T/A, so I was sharing the wealth, but I always regretted it. Fast forward 2014, and I finally got it back by trading my brother my 68 dart race car for it.

Aye Mr B5, I have a small stable. I have a 70 roadrunner, fj5 383 4spd airgrabber, a 70 in violet 6bbl 4spd cuda project, which I have owned for 21yrs, and my black 4spd T/A challenger, as well as a 67 ss 350 4spd Camaro(wifes car)which we have owned since 1988. I will post some more pics when I get a minute. Thanks for your response. I feel kind of funny listing my stuff. I love it, think its cool, and want to share it, but I don't want to sound like I am name dropping! I have been into these cars all of my life and am excited about them, and you asked. I just don't want to sound like a covetous braggart
