The note to "piston #1" is just plain unforgetable. How cool is that?

Just an incredible story and so neat to see the dedication to the vehicle (and its original owner) that the family maintains. Welcome and we hope to see and hear a lot more from you, Juan!

Especially meaningful to me as I spent 7 years restoring a 70 Hemi Challenger that was about 200 cars ahead of yours on the assembly line (mine was VIN sequence 186914) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Bill: that is probably the closest VIN I've seen to ours. PM some pictures. Love to see it? I suppose it was built on or close to NOV. 11.

Great story!!

Love the car and story of El Hemi. So sorry about the loss of your dad - I too lost a father who died way too young due to pancreatic cancer - a cruel killer.
