Last he told me, his friend still has it. It’s still the “newest” old car I’ve ever been in. Here's the link to the Mecum auction it was in: https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0511-10...emi-satellite/ |
----While interesting there are some things left unsaid. For instance, the original owner also had a 1970 Hemi Challenger with similar mileage that he also bought new. He sold both cars and one other he also bought new to Classic Motors where I worked. I was supposed to work a trade with my 9000 mile 396/375 69 Camaro for the Challenger, but ended up loosing the car to someone from (I think) Iowa. I have never seen or heard of the Challenger again. The third car was a 1971 LS6 Mulsanne Blue Corvette. Mileage on that one was similarly low. The Corvette is known in Corvette circles. Tim G may recall it.
----There are still some more interesting tidbits. The whole story is amazing!.....Bill S
