My grandfather Thornton Sydney "Punch" Brown owned this car. He sold it to his sister Johnette. The car was sold on the understanding it would not be sold out of the family. My dad dropped out of school and went to work  to raise the money to buy the car back from his aunt for what she paid my papaw for it. The price was agreed. She was bringing the car to my dad and someone offered her more money and she sold it to him over my dad. Still a touchy subject with dad. This was in the El Dorado Arkansas area probably early 80s. I could NEVER hope to afford to purchase the car if the current owner where even willing to sell it, assuming it has survived all these years. I would love to be able to at least get photos and videos if the current owner would be willing to do that. So if ANYONE has any idea where this car may be today it would mean so much to my family. Unfortunately we don't have the VIN#

Unique hood and wheels - I would think those would help in tracking it down.

Good luck and thanks for posting that great vintage pic - love those!

Maybe a modified 66 Mustang? No 66 Dash mounted tach, 68-69 GT wheels, aftermarket hood... Best of luck in finding it!

Talked to my dad. Apparently before papaw got the car it was in a minor wreck. The hood was replaced as where the wheels. The tach was also stolen

98SVT - was 06GT

The hood may be the best clue. Get a registry and go through each listing. You may find one that says "had 67 style hood when purchased". I'd agree that it was a GT350. Side windows weren't a common modification in that time period.

Bullet mirrors on both driver and passenger sides were not very common either.
