If that had head rest I would have said its my father in laws GTO

Wow, all those coin posts have me wanting to dump out my bottle of almost 200 state quarters and search. I have a 1 gallon cider jug full of pennies, nickels and dimes too.

New winter project !!!

Good Luck! Hope you strike it rich!

The Russ Davis Mustang is featured in Vintage Motorsport Magazine in the latest issue. This is my favorite magazine, great pictures and wonderful articles.

Thanks John,

She is in great hands....that may very well be the last best 1969 SS396 L78 Chevelle that I got to restore to that level....especially since that Daytona Yellow Chevelle was truly 95% all NOS Parts.
Today, this is nearly impossible to duplicate or to accomplish as the NOS Parts are drying up.

You'll Get Tetanus From Stepping on a Rusty Nail

Any puncture wound, including one from a rusty nail, can lead to a tetanus infection — but not because of the rust. Tetanus infections happen when dirt, soil or manure that is contaminated with the Clostridium tetani bacteria becomes embedded in wounds. Oxidized metal, or rust, has no impact whatsoever.

Napoleon Was Short

A self-conscious short person who overcompensates with an aggressive personality is said to have a Napoleon complex. The problem is, the famously short French conqueror wasn't short at all. He was measured at 5 feet, 2 inches tall — but he was measured with French inches, which are longer than English inches. He actually stood 5 feet, 7 inches — taller than the average European man at the time.

A Penny Dropped From the Empire State Building Will Kill You

It someone dropped a penny off the Empire State Building and that penny hit you, it would hurt — but only a little. Because of their non-aerodynamic shape, pennies flutter to the ground like tree leaves and never go faster than about 25 mph. If it were dropped from the same height in a vacuum void of atmosphere, however, a penny could reach 210 mph, which could inflict significant damage, especially if you were hit with the penny's edge.

Henry Ford Invented the Automobile

In the world of automobiles, there was the time before Henry Ford and everything after — but the mind behind the legendary Model T by no means invented the car. That title likely goes to a man named Karl Benz, a German engineer who developed a working car by 1885 — the genesis of today's Mercedes-Benz.

Alcohol Kills Brain Cells

As part of their health education, most school kids learn that drinking alcohol kills brain cells. The truth is that moderate drinking doesn't cause any damage in most cases. Heavy drinking absolutely can damage the brain, as well as the liver and other critical systems, but that damage isn't the result of cell death. The amount of alcohol required to kill cells would kill the person first.

Cracking Your Knuckles Causes Arthritis

For generations, parents and teachers alike terrorized children with the idea that cracking their knuckles would leave them with brittle, arthritic hands later in life. In reality, there is no connection. The "cracking" is actually bubbles bursting in the synovial fluid that surrounds the knuckles. Cracking knuckles can, however, diminish grip strength — and if you're not sure whether the habit is annoying, just ask the person next to you on the bus.

Sugar Makes Kids Hyperactive

There is a whole heap of reasons to avoid giving too much sugar to children, but hyperactivity isn't one of them. The myth of a child going berserk from a "sugar high" is exactly that — a myth. Popularized by an allergist's recommended diet and a flawed study in the 1970s, the connection between hyperactivity and sugar was debunked by a series of studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1995.

Ostriches Hide Their Heads in the Sand

Even to this day, many kids grow up thinking that ostriches bury their heads in the sand because they believe that if they can't see a predator, it can't see them. Ostriches have tiny heads that sometimes appear to submerge when they're pecking at the ground, and they actually do briefly put their heads in the ground to turn their buried eggs. But the ostrich did not evolve with the worst defensive survival strategy in the animal kingdom.

Dinosaurs Went Extinct

Some 66 million years ago, virtually all species of dinosaurs went extinct — "virtually" being the key word. It's hard to imagine that giant Godzilla monsters the size of buildings once wandered around what is now your town. But there are 10,000 species of feathered animals flying overhead to serve as proof that not all went extinct — the dinosaurs that didn't die evolved into birds. Another relic from prehistory are alligators, which haven't evolved much since they walked, swam, and killed alongside dinosaurs

Touching Frogs or Toads Gives You Warts

You should definitely avoid touching frogs or toads, some of which secrete powerful toxins from their skin. But if the poison doesn't kill you, you're not going to have to worry about getting warts. In fact, the bumps that cover some frogs and toads aren't warts at all, and even if they were, warts can only be caused by a human virus.

The Great Wall of China Is Visible From Space

Since it's the same color, texture and made from the same materials as the surrounding landscape, the Great Wall of China is nearly impossible to see with the unaided eye in low-Earth orbit. It is absolutely not visible from the moon, as many kids were taught in school. A 2004 image from the International Space Station might appear to show a tiny segment of the world's longest defensive fortification, but even Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei confirmed he couldn't see it while in orbit.

Elephants Have Graveyards

There is a common schoolhouse misconception that old elephants nearing death instinctively wander away from the herd to meet their end at the same site that their ancestors went to die. According to the BBC, "elephants clearly show interest in the remains of the dead," but there is no instinctive homing device that draws them toward collective staging areas for death, or elephant graveyards — and also, elephants are not afraid of mice.

Washington Admitted He Chopped Down a Cherry Tree

For generations, teachers have been telling students that George Washington was so virtuous that he couldn't tell a lie. The author of Washington's bestselling original biography was not bound by such moral hangups, and took significant artistic license with the facts. The cherry tree story is among the biggest whoppers.

Chameleons Change Color for Camouflage

Chameleons have the remarkable ability to change color, but it's not to blend in with surroundings while hiding from predators. Some chameleons change with the temperature or amount of stress they're experiencing. Others change colors to warn other lizards of danger. And of course, some males brighten things up to attract female chameleons.

An Apple Fell on Newton's Head

Kids learn in school that scientific pioneer Isaac Newton had his eureka moment about gravity when an apple fell on his head. It never happened. Newton did observe apples falling in his family's orchard, but there's no evidence one bonked him on the head and turned on a lightbulb.

The Tongue Map

One part of the tongue senses bitter tastes. Another detects sweetness, and others sense salty and bitter tastes, according to the tongue map. The tongue map drawn back in 1901 is a lie. Scientists now know that the tongue works in concert to detect all tastes and sensations.

Diamonds Come From Coal

Diamonds are formed when coal is under intense pressure for incredibly long periods? In reality, that's nearly geologically impossible. In fact, coal forms virtually no diamonds; they are created in a variety of ways and places, including in the Earth's mantle and at asteroid impact zones.

There Were 13 Original American Colonies Under British Rule

Anyone educated in America knows the 13 stripes on the American flag represent the 13 original colonies. But there were only 12 at the start of the revolution, as Delaware was part of Pennsylvania until June 15, 1776, when the Assemblies of the Lower Counties of Pennsylvania declared themselves free of both Great Britain and Pennsylvania. Also, Britain had two loyalist Florida colonies that didn't take part in the revolution.

There's No Gravity in Space

It's common knowledge that astronauts float because there is no gravity in space. Actually, there is gravity everywhere, including space, including the kind that keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. People and objects appear to float while in orbit because they are in a state of freefall.

You Need Milk for Strong Bones

Milk is absolutely necessary for a strong, healthy body — if you're a growing cow. A series of studies have found no evidence that cow's milk improves bone health, but have shown dairy has a negative effect on overall health, including on bones. The milk myth has been pushed by the dairy industry, which lobbies the USDA (a recent USDA chief took a cushy, high-paying job as CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council).

Normandy Was the Beginning of the End for Germany

The bravery displayed by Allied troops on D-Day is undeniable, as is the historic impact of the battle. But up to 80% of German troops were killed by Russian soldiers in the East, and most historians consider the epic battles of Stalingrad and Leningrad as the death blows to Hitler's Germany. Contributing at least 26 million corpses to the calamitous death toll of World War II, it is certainly the Russians who paid much of the tab to defeat fascism.

You'll Need Advanced Math in Life

Year after year, legions of kids — many of whom aren't mathematically inclined — are forced to suffer through the chores of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry with the presumption multiplying numbers against letters in parentheses is necessary to hack it in the adult world. In reality, fewer than 1 in 4 Americans performs anything above basic math regularly at work.

The Emancipation Proclamation Freed the Slaves

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was limited in effect — first limited to slaves in rebel states, and then not universally known. The holiday of Juneteenth, celebrates the moment June 19, 1865, that Union soldiers rode into Galveston, Texas, to tell America's last remaining slaves they were free. This was news to the slaves, who had never heard of the proclamation, signed 2½ years earlier.

Pot Is a Gateway Drug

Anyone who went to school during the just-say-no era of the drug war knows that while marijuana itself isn't so bad, experimenting with it leads to addiction, incarceration, and death from street drugs. For years, educators accepted the "gateway" theory, a 1950s scare tactic that has since been widely debunked and acknowledged as myth in 2016 by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Social ailments such as poverty, bad home environment, and early exposure are better indicators of future addiction.

America Is the Freest Country in the World

"It's a free country" is a mantra most kids probably hear before they even get to school. The reality, however, is that many countries are considered freer than the United States. The Human Freedom Index ranks America No. 17 on its global list (dropping nine notches in a year to tie with the United Kingdom), based on government size, religion, labor, trade, rule of law, and basic freedoms such as movement and association — and the average is pulled up significantly by economic freedoms. On personal freedom, the country ranks at No. 29.
