Default Re: Where were you in '85?

[ QUOTE ]
In January 1985 I was driving back up from Miami after finding this 1971 440 Six Barrel, 4 speed Cuda Convertible (1 of 5 produced). I paid $2500 for the project. It had been through a series of owners in Miami including a drug dealer who sold it, and then stole it back shortly thereafter and in a police chase launched it into the ocean! It had all of its original drivetrain (in the back of the U-Haul truck that is). The car needed new quarters, fenders, trunk, doors, upper cowl but the floors were perfect! -never buy a Florida car that spent any time near the beach: they rust from the top surfaces downward. I restored the car within a year and then sold it to buy my yellow 71 Hemicuda ragtop. The comical thing is that I hear rumors that the person who owns it now (after paying $350K for the car) is claiming that the sheetmetal is all original!

You sure this was taken in 1985? Looks more like 1975, I can just about hear Skynard playing Freebird in the background...
I had just moved back from Florida a little before that, there was a guy in the Keys who had a 70 or 71 Hemicuda Ragtop and 2 or 3 hemi Superbirds...does that ring a bell? Maybe it was that drug dealer guy
