This is the Marilla Boss 429 that's was parked in 1974 actually. There was a street racing incident and the owner hid the car for 35 years. It has 13k miles on it. this was the day they pulled it out of a shed that the car barely fit in. It went to Musclecar Alley in Arcade , all they needed to do was was clean it. The original motor was refreshed and reassembled and dyno'ed up to 5k. It went to one of the big auction houses.

There was a black COPO automatic that was sold in the Rochester area. Don't know whatever happened to it. Think there were 4 69 Hurst Olds sold in Rochester - B&B Olds, Philanz Olds.

I remember seeing Hans Schmidt II winning regularly at Batavia drag strip in his Cobra. I believe that the Cobra was delivered at Muck Motors dealership. Also recall the full size Ford lightweight sponsored by Al Maroony (sp?) Ford beating the Cobra. The Ford went on to win at the nationals, but was dq’d on teardown. Hans’ father was a famous wrestler back in the 60s. His best move was the “nasty nostril” ��

i know of at least 2 1969 H/Os sold in Buffalo, my Dads friend owned one of them and it was a mess by 1976. My mom has a pic of me standing next to it and you cant even tell it was a 69 H/O. The other one i havent seen in 35 years..it was perfect with 30k on it at the time.
