"He told me in 1976 a guy tried to buy it from him for 40k and he turned it down. The car only had like 15k he said."

Jason,
Not doubting you, but are you certain that he said 1976?

It was just a cool used car back then. Yes, some of us were chasing them even back then, and it was difficult to find an unmolested Hi-Horse Car after just Seven Model Years.

But wasn't the average American home only worth approx $50k back then?

Very cool Car. Yes, would like to see many more detailed pics. thanks for posting.
