That was the "rising sun" / Lou Mancini car that we now know as the uncut/unmolested yellow one that has sold a couple of times for @ 300g. It was in AB in 1982 . Wasn't it a Mark King in Calgary that had it? I believe somewhere's in this this epic thread is an Autotrader ad of that car. I know I've seen the ad. I have no idea what colour it was when it was in Alberta but it had to be this car. Yep would've been a good investment.

Lou Mancini painted it yellow when he got it. That was around 1977-78.

But this one (Daryl said it belonged to Wayne Dokken) matches the paint and snorkel hood scoop "savoy" described.


Ok "savoy" which one was the one you didn't buy? :)

Sorry, I have to claim old Geezers disease as I really can't tell you which car it was or wasn't. Like I said I found it in the want ads in the back of a hot rod magazine. Wish I could confirm which it was, all I know is I should have bought the damn thing. I do know that it wasn't the solid green car. There were no race decals or names on the car. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, wounda. Story of my life with classic cars I guess. Like I said, I think it went south to a guy that had another L023 car was trying to flip them last time I heard for around 50K. Wish I could be more specific for the board but it was a long time and many cars ago.

Thanks for the memory jog, wish it would have helped.
No worries. In my office they say I have "Sometimers" .
Some times the thoughts and memories just evaporate!


I tell them "The older I get , the better I used to be".
