72 Demon Restoration

I found through a couple of local people, who the original owner of my car was. So I decided to track him down and found he lived in a small town about 100 miles from here. When I gave him a phone call the other night he was very surprized to find out his car was about to be put back on the road. He was sure it was long gone. But the second question from him was "are you going to sell it to me"? NOT Turns out he bought this 340 car one month before I bought my original 340 car, from the same dealership, they are almost identical cars. He had a couple of very interesting stories, one how his brother with a broken right leg soon learned how to "shiftin without liften" while he was hard at work. He says he has 3-4 pictures for me and told me he raced it the summer of 73, at a local dragstrip. So I am sure hoping to get some pictures of it at the strip. They had lived on a ranch with probably 20 miles of gravel, so it was definately not a trailer queen. He said he had been looking for the car for the last 15 years and he thought it was long gone to Alberta. We ended our conversation with him saying "if you ever sell it, I want first chance". A very nice fella who now owns a 70 440 six pack challenger. It was a very good phone call. Darryl
