My HM L78 was sold as a used car Stowasser Pontiac / Olds about 1971. It was then in the LA Times in 2000. I'd love to find the ad(s)

Thanks,

There's literally tons of stuff Tim but how you look/search makes a big difference on finding it or not...also luck!
Any success seeking specific vehicles depends on the old newspaper pages w/ the actual ads you're seeking having been scanned in recent years as although a lot have, most haven't and probably never will be?
I quickly tried searching Stowasser Pontiac also LA Times 1999-2001 and it seems there's little there for either but I'll try again later.
As for Drag Strip results, here's one post from further back in the thread showing some 1966 results at Lion's track.
There may be something similar from later years too so let me know what name/years you think the car was racing at Lions or other tracks and I'll give it a whirl.
Love your '68 L88 HM car!
