I got to speak to him and his wife, nice people wish i remembered their names. He said it has a John Shaul engine in it. sounded and smelled sweet. Said he has a 66 Bevedere it sleeps next to in garage, lol.
Also spoke to a lady w a 72 GS350 car that noone in her family wants to inherit, can you believe it. Said sh'll eventually sell to a neighbor. She commuted 19 years in it. nice driver and 30 footer but damn, its all original w 180,000 miles and trans was just rebuilt last year and new exhaust w flowmasters so it sounds as good as it looks. Some old timers do get it right. No I'm not that old yet 46, just respect those who are. Chris.

Sounds like you may have met Chris Baum ,he's from that area and has several original 426 cars that I've done restored pushbutton transmissions for.
He's the guy who won the last Pinks at Maple Grove in a Ramcharger car when the other guy rolled the beams when he staged .
