Long shot - but looking for info on a 1970 Tor-Red GTX, 440 (believed to be an original 6BBL), Air Grabber, 4 Speed car.
Dating back to the mid or late 70’s to early 80’s it lived in the Imlay City Michigan area. Owned by Jeff it was sold to a fellow named Walter.
Walter had it for some time then traded it for I believe a 1972 Challenger. I believe the trade occurred in the same area near Imlay City.

The trail goes cold from there.

Being such a nice car I’m hoping someone knows where this car is. Actually not interested in the car - interested in the engine that was installed in it back in the late 70’s. This engine was the original engine for my car.

I believe the last three of the vin in the block would be 901.
Willing to trade a professionally built 440 for the engine, or do a professionally performed swap of blocks, etc.

PM me please if you have info on the whereabouts of this car or engine. Confidentiality guaranteed if you need that assuranc

Shared to facebook. I grew up in Imlay City and family may know of the car. Well, at least hope they do.

Sent you a screenshot. Walt has been located. Not sure if it's the right one or not, but sounds like it may be.

He traded it to a guy from the Warren area possibly in July of 1983. Walt now resides in TN and someone there went to his door on Saturday and asked about it.

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.

Bumping this topic back up, also adding one more picture of the hood of the car. You can see that someone added some hemi fallout decals to the hood.
