The car eventually disappeared into the back of a Brooklyn storage garage where Vogt tracked it down then purchased from the owner (Talmadge had sold it to someone else by that time). I don't know of any other Cammer Mustangs in New York at the time but I'm sure there may have been. If this is the car you're thinking of, then I don't believe Brooklyn Heavy owned the car after Talmadge, at least I never heard that (and since Heavy went to jail in '75 or '76 for 25 years, it most likely wasn't him the car was purchased from, especially since the Feds took all but one or two of his cars in a raid). But anything is possible Is this the story you're thinking of?
There was a cammer mustang with a tunnelram from South Jersey I believe. They were friends of Max. The guy with the beatup GTO. We ran them on the Willowbrook with the hemi car. Got lucky twice.
