Reminds me of a car I tried very hard to buy from a friend of mine many years ago. During my active duty navy career I was stationed in Jacksonville, Fl and had a 1970 Superbee 440 4 speed. Made friends with a lot of other mopar enthusiasts while there. Anyway, long story short I was made an offer I couldn't refuse to sell my Superbee ( wish I'd never done that) and decided to go drag racing. One of the Mopar enthusiasts that I had become friends with had acquired a 1965 ( maybe a 1967, I can't remember for sure) Coronet that had been built by Paul Forte of Turbo Action for Paul's wife to bracket race. As the story went Paul's wife decided she didn't want to race so Paul put the car up for sell. Coronet two door hardtop, transplanted 426 Hemi, 727 Torqueflite, Dana 60 rear. Had the old Eldebrock 'Rat Roaster' interchangeable top intake manifold, with a single carb (1050 dominator) and dual carb ( Carter AFBs) tops. My friend Mike drove the car on the street some, took it to Gainsville and did a couple passes with it, if I remember correctly with small tires, and only a pinion snubber for a traction aid it ran 11.0s. After a bit he took it to his girlfriend's house that was just around the corner from me. It sat in her garage for over 6 months. By this time I had re-enlisted and received a fat bonus. I also had orders to Maryland. I really liked that Coronet so I asked Mike if he would sell it to me. Got the usual ' I don't know Les, I'll get around to doing something with it'. Now having know what he paid for it ($6K, could you imagine what it would cost today!) I offered him $8k. No sell, same ' I don't know....' Offered him $9K, same ' I don't know.....' Made my final offer of $12K. Said come on Mike, you're doubling your money! Got the same ' I don't know....' So long story short, I ended up buying a 68 AMX from the long defunct Jax Speed Shop and transferred to Maryland. Fast forward to last year. Via the magic of social media got back into touch with Mike. We had a great conversation and I eventually asked him what became of his hemi Coronet. He hesitated a bit before telling me that he had sold it a couple of months after I had left for Maryland.... for $6500! If I could have reached through that computer line I would have strangled him!
