Love the car, not the actor, but RIP Mr. Blake, if you truly did do it you won't be...

As far as Robert Blake, I thought he was a very good actor. I loved Corky, & also Of Mice & Men - he starred with Randy Quaid. As far as the murder, not sure of the details - I have never looked into it. RIP Corky Curtis. No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified
