I asked around a bit after I saw this thread and as far I as I can tell the car is no more. After numerous owners, minor wrecks, multiple engines, and new owner mods it was finally parted and scrapped


I stand corrected. With the help of a friend, a few tips, and some phone calls I have Erics car in my possession. The louvered hood is gone, the yellow is now red, except the inside which is still yellow/white, the frenched headlights are intact, the rears are intact, but hidden under 62-67 housings.

Russell and I have been in touch, hopefully it will end up with him after all these years of looking.

So the saga ends.... finally after 33 years.

It was at Kelly park last year and looked like this, i saw it on a video and took pictures of it, ive asked a few to help locate but Greg has come up trumps once again for me, thank you.

That’s cool Russell...glad you found it, Interestingly, I was just looking at that issue on Monday while I was organizing my back issues. I remember that car vividly from when I was a kid. Didn’t really love it, but it was kind of cool. Totally understand why it made an impression on you. His girlfriend was kind of cute too. interestingly, I was just looking at that issue on Monday while I was organizing my back issues. I remember that car vividly from when I was a kid.
