  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Cool that it had the Am Fm. Did a quick search and he might have passed away in 2006. His car may still be out there.

    It would be great to reunite the documentation with the owner of the car.

    That's my old car.
    I bought it from the Strubes out in Colorado, and drove it back to Michigan in 1992.
    Restored, raced, showed it, sold it.
    I was in contact with Joe and Pat(wife)Castronova back at that time.
    I sold the car to a guy on East Coast who was a flipper, who in turn sold it at auction, it went to a dealership in Virginia, then in last I knew it went far west, like Washington state.
    I pulled the race engine, sold it to Larry Gibson, put the tired 400 back in it, sold the weld drag stars, and put a set of 14" rally wheels on it, and sent it.
    I changed color to a very dark plum color, I believe it was called Dark Rosewood Pearlcoat.
