Cool cars you found but owner wouldn't sell !

69 Cuda M Code Fastback. In 98 or 99, I had been traveling through central Ohio a lot and noticed an old car sitting next to a house under a tree, quite far from the highway. One day, I must have looked closer because I had never noticed that it looked like the profile of a Cuda FB. On the way back through I stopped, and sure enough, a faded red 69 fastback with flat tires, weeds growing up all around it and old tires thrown in the back. "Cuda" scoops on the hood with black stripe package and 440 call outs. Really looked like the real deal, wish I had known to look at the vin plate back then.
Anyway, went to the door and an older woman said it belonged to her son, who lived somewhere else. She thought he wanted to sell it, and gave me a phone number. I was pumped! Burned my cell phone up trying to call the number all the way back to NY. Kept calling the number for two weeks. FINALLY, a woman answers and she says, "Oh, you are calling about the cuda? He just sold it." Needless to say, I was crushed. I am convinced it was a real M-code. More of a "one that got away" than wouldn't sell I guess.
