The car had a snorkel hood of some sort, a detuned hemi, and was generally as wavy as the ocean. Back then I had no clue what to look for, at, or even what a hemi dart was! I just wanted a car to run on the street and make noise. Still remember that when I walked away the guy just whined about what was he going to do now as he needed the cash. Sigh.....

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.
