I was at that Musclecar Nats race and the one in 1986. Those were the days.

Man, who are all those skinny kids? :-)

Rick Mahoney - car was supposedly for sale at Carlisle before Rick bought it at the guys house. Happened to be looking at the car & realized it was a late build, called Jim to get the PHS on it to make sure it was a 400 car and Jim told him to make sure he bought it!

Here it is in Scott's shop and then getting loaded for last year's MCACN display with Rick's 69 TA Vert.

This is another guy I know. Car isn't too well known amongst enthusiasts.

Phil, you bought Joe's duece? Very cool car with a great history - was it a package deal with his TA too?

I bought the car from the owner after Joe. I don't know where the TA went.
