69 A56 '340 Cuda

I looked at the registry on the Y2 code. I got home from the US Army on March 17th, 1969. I ordered the car the next week. So would not have been built before then.

I took delivery the 1st week of May, 1969. The car was the honey moon ride, as I was married on the 10th of May.

The 1st race was at the old Sioux City, Iowa dragstrip, in late May. I had 1500 miles on the car and still had the dealer plates in place. 1st trophy that week end, about 4 lengths on a very un happy 1969 350 hp SS 396 Chevelle owner! I think about 14:50 at 99 mph.

Lots of good memories with that ride. It was fun to rule the E/Pure Stock class at Thunder Valley, Marion, SD. That, it did!
