Another NCRS Report
I received my shipping data report on my '70 today..had high hopes which quickly faded. Looks like my dealer is no longer around. Anyone know of this dealer or any history of when they were in business?
Capital Motors
1214 Main St.
Hartford Ct.
Google search shows that the building is gone.
My production date was 6/30/70...a late build.
Several years ago I spoke to a guy who said he was the second owner, but he doesn't remember the first owners name...
I knew my car was involved in a serious accident early on in its life because the frame is spliced and the second owner confirmed that it was done prior to him. He told me that the first owner had a '71 rear clip spliced on.... I'm sure if the accident had happened in the '80's it would have been totaled. Anyway...it's an interesting story and I'd love to find the original owner and find out more. Car turned out okay though:
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can remember on the dealer!
