I'm really curious about the car's history and if anyone would like to help me, please let me know. I'm willing to pay $$ for help.

Pretty cool to be the 2nd owner of a '72 big block convertible and know the history and have the original paperwork. Thanks for posting.

I have the original owners name and hometown at the time of purchase, but have never really tried to find him.

Hey BKvette3, I'm just curious did you buy your car from American Dream Machines, In Iowa? It looks familiar.

My Dad was the original owner of my 74.. I remember the day he brought it home.. I was 8 years old.. I was immediately the coolest kid in the neighborhood..
