After I bought the car with the help of Colin who told me about the car being available I was able to locate the original owner and second owner who sold it to Joel Rosen. Joel sold it to Dr. Timken. No one had previously been able to find the two previous owners, it took me over two months of intensive searching to find the guys.

I wouldn't own it without the help of Colin he made the entire deal happen. Here is another attachment.

Interestingly enough I learned from the first two owners the car originally came with rally wheels. And recently I found black and white pictures of it when Joel owned it and sure enough rally wheels on the rear. Otherwise the car was restored exactly like it was sold new. And it had MT tires on all four wheels. Another attachment.

Darren...you're probably right on the red one's being '71s...I was going off of memory, I should stop doing that!
Les thanks for the pics of the car...when Colin said he was going to get it I was hoping to catch it at his place in Milwaukee and see it in person...now as luck would have it I won't be able to see it in person at the reunion either...darn it!...so I'm hoping some takes a bunch of good pics of it!

My lord I just wet myself..

Les can you post the black and white?? What size Cragars are running out back? Are they 8s? I am so excited to see this car in person. Thanks for bringing it! Damn, I want to bring my car now. Just to be parked a few feet from it.
