About the Author: Some of my first memories and strongest memories of my childhood relate to cars. I still remember back when things happened based on what car I was drinving at the time. I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California. I was a Corvette fanatic for years but then discovered vintage American Muscle. My wife, Katrina, and I decided we wanted to focus on a unique and rare muscle car. After a lot of research we fell in love with the Ford Blue Oval Aero Cars. These were only built in 1969 and their only purpose was to win NASCAR races using their Boss 429 and 427 power plants complimented with a special, wind cheating, aerodynamic body. The Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II are terrific and historic cars for sure. This site is devoted to them and their owners past and present.
Intersting. What is the circulation date of this news letter? The reason I am curious is I see my vin 564650 listed as a owner of D Henderson, I also see he had 565562. I purchased 564650 last spring, and at that time the person i purchased the car from also had 565562. I was told that the cars came from a friend of his that passed. I am assuming this was D. Henderson. I have a copy of a title from Lynchburg Va with the name of B. Francis So I am assuming D. Henderson purchased the car from B. Francis. The car was sold new at Bob Cash L-M in Lynchburg, still has a dealer sticker on the bumper. Also on the bumper is a stcker that says “68-69 student parking pass lynchburg” Anybody have any further info on this car?
This would have been around mid-1982.
