Posted: 28 Aug 2009 2:34The research on this forum is impressive. Good stuff.
hard to validate so many items with the limited forensics, but what i've related above is best I gleaned from varous interviews and such. Lived the life in Detroit for a long while. In Norfolk now, completely different culture.
One point I'd invite you guys to scratch on more is the late 71 n96 stuff. Now I didn't live with that car its whole life, but it show'd 96, and the history look good back to the early 70s with the T/A hood. So looked right. Guys who were rolling the fenders remembered, but the guys I know also weren't afraid of a beer, which can effect memory. I think that car is still in Michigan.
regardless...just enjoy the cars. it's all good!

I don't know where my copy is, but it's gotta be either Sept or Oct of 1969.
