Thanks Mark! Looks like that's what you got for 2900 bucks back in '75.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread with my enthusiasm, but with Pete's followup I did some more digging and I do think Maureen is the wife. According to the old paperwork I got with the car, in Feb-1973 the 'Cuda was owned by a Bob Graham (at least the 2nd owner), and a quick search shows that Bob's wife was/is Maureen. So timing-wise this all makes sense, these must be Bob's ads and old ph#. In Oct-75 Bob sold the car to his brother Bill (whom I've had the pleasure of speaking with years ago), so it looks like Bob was unsuccessful at selling his car 6 months earlier for the $2900. Ugh! A year later it was bought by a longterm owner, who literally socked the car away for the next 30 years.

One other neat piece of info is the mileage. The ad Pete posted from April 1975 mentioned 20,100 miles. When the car came out of hibernation in 2005 it had 20,535 miles. Interesting that it was used so little during those years, and it is very cool that Bob chose to post the mileage in his ads. Gives me a much greater understanding of my car's history.

Again, much thanks Pete and All!!!
