My dad's 427/390 in 1969 and when I saw it in 2013. Same car. I have the warranty booklet, POP, bill of sale, and pdi sheet for it. Maybe I should buy it and park it next to my 69 435. The car was originally built with P02"s and the bill of sale shows a credit for the ralley wheels. The chrome side trim is not original to the car.

...YES...

The time travel through pictures is pretty cool. Always enjoy the old photos. Being able to see the car present day is icing on the cake.
Would enjoy seeing pictures of your 435, also.

My 435 car. I bought it from the original owner in 1977. Just finished replacing the 69 manifold with a 1967 version. It was a lot more involved than just changing manifolds. The original owner like the flares of the 1970 and had them installed along with a factory L88 hood. It was painted in 1973 by Barry Hackert in Warminster, Pa.

I've heard of his work. He was in Ivyland correct?
Is he still in business?
I love the job he did on yours.
I'd love to do my 68 in Safari Yellow with a black accent like yours
