Clear this up please. The son of the original owner now owns the car?
Has the father and mother passed?

I’ll post some pics of the other side.
Was going to but you have to keep in mind the vast majority of the people watching the video are not hard core c body guys and the video was already 40 minutes so I didn’t get back to it. Video was already super long. Here is a pic of the sheet.
Father is still alive and well, he just gifted the car to his son at Christmas this year and he contacted me about finding out more info on it. After talking to him he told me he wanted Rocket Restorations to fix up the car and get it back on the road.

That's good news. I presume many of the questions on the car can be answered, quarter work, what was replaced or original to the car. At 30k miles and 10 years old some of that stuff to me seems odd to replace like the fuel pump. Why was the fuel tank dropped ? Us hard-core C body guys are curious.
Totally understand.
That's boring stuff for most folk.
When you get a chance I am sure there are a few here that would love to see a few pics of the sheet that are a little more readable.
Did a second sheet surface from the rear seat, under the carpet or behind the glove box?
Haven’t pulled out the rear seat yet. The original vinyl is a little brittle so after talking with @Fury Pursuit we decided it would be a good idea to pull the front seats first to get more room to get the rear seat out. I’ll post more bs pics later. Problem with the front seats are the nuts are frozen so trying to be very very careful so we don’t break a stud getting them out.
Did the front fenders, specifically the front of the fenders check out for original paint?
I go over it in the video but think they are at least partially original paint. The passenger 1/4 has a big repair on it so would not surprise me at all if they redid all the stripes when that happened. The driver door has a repair as well and the front of the hood.

I’m not a fuselage guy, but this was pretty neat. Thanks for the video Tom
That makes sense.
Especially with the extra white strobe stripe that is on the carb hat.
Were those extra strobes just cut off from the front of the stripe where the GT letters go? Every strobe had an extra piece ?
I believe both FK3 cars, the B3 & this R6 red one all retain the #s engine. The magazine car has its original 672 transmission and I did find a post on moparts(?) from like a decade ago that someone did know at one point the whereabouts of the A4 cars engine but the trail goes cold from there..
You guys need to find that #s transmission that goes with that 6bbl GT block!

Here is a picture from 71 of my oldmans 6bbl GT bought new at Alsip Chrysler Plymouth in Oak Lawn IL. I know the car survived to the late 70s.
Any chance you have the VIN? @billyfury

No. The car is probably long gone. Burnt Orange with burnt orange interior with console.

That would be a dream car.
This car came from the factory with front drum brakes?

Power front drum.
You know, not that I'm looking for a brake war here, but with what-ever package options this car has, why was Chrysler so reluctant to throw in disk brakes on these cars? I'm not necessarily a super-fan of disk brakes (for these old mopars) and even if the disk brake parts dropped into my lap I'd be in no rush to put them on my car, but if they're so good why hold them back for cars like this? In 1970 even?
Were they just not seen as "must-have" back in the day like they are now?
