Okay link fixed. 1969 Trans Am Boss 302 on the hunt! Looks like another hit the wall at the beginning of the video. Hard to see..

Let's see if this works...

What??? Let me check it

It's like a monster chasing you in a dream...or nightmare. Can't grow tired of seeing this 69 running or the sound of that 70. What beautiful cars!

got to admit that's one hot car...

LOL!!!!!!!

A Jalopnik article said it happened at a train station and the owner was with his son. The owner apparently is a car collector with an impressive collection. Maybe I should blame my Canadian breathern North of the border at Multimatic where the GT is made.

Cash payout I suspect. Probably insured for 1.8 million measured by the auction of the only one sold from private hands.

I have a 3.50 in big red.  It revs enough.  Would not want it higher.  If you're doing a lot of highway driving go to a taller gear.

I will give Ford the benefit of the doubt until further investigation.  But it's sad to see.

Knowing that she has no tech knowledge, he begins the search for her. While doing a series of Google searches he stumbles on to the SAAC Forums where he finds this picture that someone had posted and he realizes that this was his mother and was taken in June 1966, about 9 months before he was born.

Then suddenly he realized that the man he had been calling dad all these years was actually a deserter from the US Army.

Now what to do? Bury the information or turn in his father to the authorities......

OK, that's enough. All I really want to know is the VIN of the car she is sitting on. Can anyone read the license plate number  of the other car in the reflection on the lower valance? Now back on track!

That's quite good and creative. I like it!

  It would be cool to chase down this now grandmother and hoist her up on the same car 52 years later. LOL

Or put her on a hoist and check for leaks. That was bad. But I couldn't resist.

^^^^
Lol! Religious experience being stranded. Touchee

Tony, Thanks for the additional information. I think that I had that somewhere but lost it along the way.

The only Stownstown I could find on the Internet indicates that is about a 15 minutes drive north from the Air Port.

Frank Newman Furniture Co. was located at 2441-53 Mission Street near 18th Street in San Francisco.

We know that you had to be 25 years old to rent these cars so the two drivers were at least that age. The lady in the picture could be 25, but I am guessing younger.

There are a number of military bases in the general area.... Could this be a couple of guys in the military picking up two good looking young girls for what would be a memorable road trip before shipping out to Viet Nam?

OK deathsled there is your opening for the story to be told.

Dennis

Lol okay I'll get on it. She gets pregnant by the military guy before he ships off and then he becomes MIA. Her only memory of him is locked up in that rental one passionate and steamy night. She goes on a quest with her son to find that car many years later with the hope of getting back that spark she had with him that night.

I just get a battery at Napa or Walmart and peel of the stickers.
Now you have a flat black battery with no advertisements and looks great.
And modern convenience.

I like that idea.  I'll consider it for the Exide.  Well at least the Exide is made in the USA so I'm okay with that feature.

Even after repairs, make sure you throw a fire bottle in the back seat just to be safe.  I have one.  I probably should have two.
