My brother, Neal, bought a 68 Z-28 from a guy who had just received his draft notice. I remember his name was Eddie Moore, and I heard he made it back OK. Eddie had only owned the car 6 months, but made good use of the time, adding Cragar SS wheels, Hooker Headers and Lakewood traction bars.

Neal also only owned it for six months. He worked for The Phone Company (there was only one at the time) as a splicer. One day he was down in a manhole in Southwest Philadelphia, and when he came up for lunch, the car was gone.

When the car was recovered, the engine, transmission and wheels were gone. The police didn’t find, Neal found out where it was when he started getting parking tickets. The insurance company took it for salvage.

Oh yeah, a few weeks after the remains of the car were hauled away, Neal got his draft notice too. I would say this car was jinxed, but then again, Eddie and Neal are both alive and well.
