This is the story on the car. It was a 'Lot Lizard' at a local used car dealer, it sat on the lot for over two years. They were asking $10,500.00 at first, so I never even bothered to go look at it. They lowered the price after quite a while to around 8K but still no buyer.
My brother works at the local NAPA & he called me at work one day, he said that the lot owner had told the sales people to get rid of it. "I am going on vacation for a month, lower the price to $2,500.00, I DO NOT want to see it on the lot when I get back".
My brother did not have the money, so he called me. I did not have the money either, I had just bought a '70 Valiant.
I went and looked at it anyway. Very neglected, outside the whole time it was on the lot, algae in the grille & moldings, wet carpet.
It was incredibly solid & original though, it even has the 8 3/4" rear end. I spotted a broadcast sheet under the front seat too.
So, I could not pass it up. I pooled what money I had, called a couple guys that owed me money & I rolled up all the change in my change jar that night. I just barely had enough to close the deal when they opened up the next day & it was only two days until my next paycheck, so not a super big deal. They wanted it gone so bad that they even paid for the new registration, tags & title.
It started right up & ran great, everything works. I found a second broadcast sheet in the rear seat back. I removed the wet carpet & it was not worth saving. There was a ‘new’ 1969 penny under it though.
All the numbers match also, it still has the carburetor tag, distributor tag & various paint daubs & stencils here & there.

Thats a nice rig even with all the trouble you went through to get it... Good to hear that being a "lot lizard" it only had wet carpet, and no I bet it didn't have ta tell ya that either!
Moving to PA, in a couple years, I plan to be living in the Hagerstown, MD area so......But, that too is a ways off!
