Hey guys, I found some car part invoices on the passenger side of car (between door and dash dated 1977. It had a name on it. I looked him up and called him. Nice guy. He owned car from 1974-2014. He sent me these vintage pics and this history. Hope you enjoy.
"We got married April 1974. That’s the pics with the stock wheels.
I got back from Viet Nam in Mid-1975 and got the indies.
Moved to California and blew the engine when a nut from the air breather went into the piston.
Got the engine rebuilt and moved back to Oklahoma when I was discharged from the Marine Corps, 1977.
Started college at OU and had the paint and body work done, got tired of getting tickets because my tires extended beyond the body. Cops in Norman were a pain in the a**. The hood was reinforced when I had the body work done because it was warping. If you look at your pictures you’ll see the hood has start to bow up.
The crunch in the hood was by from a frat rat at OU with no insurance.
We moved back to California in 1984 and I spun a main bearing in 1985 blowing the motor again.
It’s been garaged or towed from state to state since then."
