Been making phone calls and chasing ghosts... no real progress yet. I did stop by to see my folks tonight, and my mom had found two more pictures. She also told me that she remembered seeing the car a year or so after it was traded in on RT 290. She said what stuck out about it, the stripe had been painted over. But the quality of the "quickie" paint job was so poor, that she could see the stripe underneath still. Every time she passed the car, she knew it was her old car because of the poor cover up paint work. She last saw the car around 1977-ish by her best memory. They moved to Yarmouth Port from Auburn around 79'-80' and never saw the car again. The engine bay shot reveals a few day 2 additions, some Cal Custom valve covers and an open element air cleaner. My father told me that something else unique would be the intake manifold. He ditched the factory intake, and swapped an aluminum intake from a 390HP 427 68'-69' Corvette. Those three items were in place when it was traded in, the intake was painted orange to look factory.
