Oh...and I gotta ask; is that a 63 or early 64 on the lower left and what tape do you have in the 8-track player?

Hope you are jamming out to some Foghat or maybe Deep Purple when you take the kids to day-care!

Good eye! That is a July 1963 Stingray I bought from the original owner.

My Boston 8-track was the only casualty on the cars maiden voyage. My dad just sent me all of his 8-tracks so I now have a great selection to choose from.

Richie,


Killer find. I dealt with you on the 70 Ranchero 429CJ years ago. Nice to hear you are doing well.

Hi Jason,

I was just thinking about you recently. I ran into the Ranchero in Pleasanton a few Goodguys ago. It is completely restored and looks great. Glad to see your still into the cars. I look forward to chatting with you here.

Wow. Really interesting. I lived in Santa Barbara for many years and was part of the cruising scene there in the mid-to-late '70s. I never knew there was a '69 Trans-Am that was sold new through the local Pontiac dealership. I do recall one time seeing a '69 Trans-Am parked behind the Granada Theatre (in SB) late at night on New Years Eve and it was either the late '70s or early '80s. I never saw it again and assumed it was not a local car. Maybe it was this one??? Thanks for posting the pics and info. I have a Hughes dealership frame somewhere but I'm not sure how nice it is. If you need it, I'll take a look.

I will ask Sam if he was still hanging out around there at that time.

I could definitely use a plate frame. My front is broken and the rear is missing. Let me know.

Thanks,
Richie

I would love to see how the Ranchero came out! I really wanted to go through that car but did not have the space at the time(as you know). Besides, there is nothing like a car going back to the original owners! Congrats on the find!

Here it is with a license plate and plate bracket, all of which came off of a '69 Z/28 that was in town. If you like the frame and want it, PM me with your address. I'm going to hang on to the plate and bracket as that needs to go back to the former owner.

Thanks to Jon, my T/A is missing one less piece. The plate frame looks great. Thanks again Jon.
