Great pic!!

These pics are screaming at me to get back to work on my 70Z project! Got a lot going on right now, moving out of my home of 31 years. You collect a lot of crap after 31 years and two kids growing up there!

Decca Records' infamous decision not to sign the Beatles after the band's New Year's Day audition in 1962 has gone down in music history. The official reason given was that "guitar groups are on the way out." Fifteen months later, the Fab Four had their first UK no. 1 hit with 'From Me to You.'

In 1973, 20th Century Fox accepted an offer by George Lucas to lower his fee for directing 'Star Wars' and instead grant him all merchandising rights and the rights to any sequels. The studio naively thought it had pulled off a great deal. The movie went on to become one of the highest grossing films of all time, and the series has since generated billions. Meanwhile, merchandise sales have earned billions more: Lucas essentially traded US$350,000 for more than $5 billion.

When Steven Spielberg was devising his blockbuster 1982 movie 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' the director approached confection company Mars and asked if he could use their candy for a scene where the cute alien munches on treats set as a lure by Elliot (Henry Thomas). Mars said no. Instead, Hershey came to the rescue with their Reese's Pieces. E.T. loved them, and so did the public: sales of the peanut butter candy jumped 65%

In the late 1960s, NBC and CBS both passed on an opportunity offered by National Football League commissioner Pete Rozelle to broadcast live games on television in a program called Monday Night Football. Instead, ESPN closed the deal, and from 1970 to 2005 aired the weekly sports program on its sister broadcast network ABC before its 2006 debut on ESPN proper. Monday Night Football remains one of the longest-running, highest-rated TV shows of all time.

Movie star Burt Reynolds (1936–2018) declined the iconic role of James Bond (later played by Sean Connery) and Indiana Jones (portrayed by Harrison Ford). Reynolds revealed in a 2015 interview that he later "deeply regretted" his decisions.

Few people realize that digital photography was originally a Kodak innovation, and in fact the company held the patent for the technology as early as 1975. But Kodak, famed for introducing the Brownie camera in 1900, refused to invest in digital research and development. Their rivals, meanwhile, were busily inventing something called the smartphone. By the time Kodak tried to catch up in the early 2000s, it was too late. Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2012.

Few will have heard of Edwin Drake (1819–1880), which is unfortunate given that he was one of the United States' pioneering oilmen. In 1858, he became the first American to successfully drill for oil. He could have made millions, but neglected to patent the drilling technology he'd invented. Furthermore, he squandered his savings on futile oil speculation and died impoverished.

When Trojan forces pulled in a huge wooden horse through the gates of their city, they understood it to be a parting gift from their Greek foes, fed up with fighting and seeking an honorable peace. But the Trojans bitterly regretted their decision after they learned that the hollow horse contained a Greek force who'd crept out after dark to open the gates and let in the rest of the Greek army. Troy was sacked, and the war ended.

We all know the iconic images of San Francisco's Lombard Street winding down the steep slope, but it's not even the steepest street in the city (that's Filbert Street). The current world's steepest street record holder is Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. The street lies at a gradient of 34.8% and rises from 90 feet (27m) above sea level at its bottom to 330 feet (100m) at the top.

A popular story says that Walt Disney ensured a secret suite was built for his family within the Cinderella Castle at Disney's Magic Kingdom. It's true that there is a Cinderella Castle Suite inside, however, Walt Disney had nothing to do with it as he died around four years before the construction was even started. In reality, the suite was created specifically for Disney's Year of a Million Dreams celebrations in 2007 in the unused space. Today, only those who've won competitions or have been invited to stay can spend the night within the castle walls.

This is the 2nd of 3 known TT paint Challenger T/As.

The third is, according to the fender tag: Plum Crazy with a White painted roof. Car currently is all one color (PC).

I don't think espn closed the deal in the late 60s, as they did not form until the 70's.

Roone Arledge (sp?) closed the deal while working for ABC.

ABC was not a sister station in the 60s. ABC acquired ESPN in 1996.

Sorry to be "that guy".

Just my personal opinion, but if you are going with one color, you are much better with the 210 chrome treatment. Look at the yellow 210 a couple pages back. I think the Bel Air chrome just looks way better on two tone cars.
