Re: 1969 L72 Biscayne
 

That's a great history you have discovered! Was he able to take ownership at the factory or did he have to have it delivered through a dealership? Pretty neat that he worked at Flint 2, as he probably had his hands on my 68 L72 Impala. What area was he in at the plant?

Congrats Marc. That was definitely a neat car and has its share of stories.

Really cool. My dad had a 4 door company car like that BITD, and love the history of yours. Congrats.

Steve, not sure of delivery but the owner worked at Buick Assembly. He bought a long list of muscle cars and raced them.When I first owned the car I posted on the Winter Wonderland website looking for the owner, with no responses. After getting the car back, I went back to the site to find a post looking for the car by the son of the owner, 3 years after my initial post. Two ships in the night situation. A very common last name, no e-mail, no phone, a relocation to Texas...if it were not for the drag race connection I would have hit a dead end. But the son races a 9 second 66 Chevy II and that was all I had as a lead. I should write a book about this car. The first half of its life was a great car/drag race story, and the second half was like a bad reality TV show.

And yes, Barry is a stand up guy, who has allowed me a second chance with the car !
