My 71 tri black, big block Cuda came from a guy with a pet black bear (got pictures!). The car had been sitting under his car port for 20+ years.

My NHRA Trans Am is out of Cape Canavaral. The owner was a NASA engineer. Still has the Challenger plate on it that he gave me. I guess they were the first "specialty" plates in the US and were used to help generate funds for Challenger missions. After the accident, if you had a Challenger plate you could keep it as long as you renewed it every year, but the first time you failed to renew it, you were done.
