  1. Wow, I didn't even know that color existed! Truthfully I don't care for it. It looks like a big banana. What do you think the brackets on the front bumper are for? They look like brackets I used to have to flat tow my VW mini sprint but I'm 100% positive this car has never been flat towed.

    1. Looks like tow brackets to me, and since it's a COPO 427, built to drag race, it's probably been towed to races and not driven more often than not. Well, back when people actually raced cars instead of flipping them and sitting them in museums.

  2. I was on the lot in London Ohio when this car was unloaded from factory. It sat unsold for way over a year. Then a man south of town bought it and he did in fact drag race it. He tore the crap out of it. It sat in a junkyard for years south of London for years and then just disappeared. it was missing alot of parts. Originally it had Rallye wheels. i think the tow brackets were added. I never saw them on car wheen new. I got to sit in in because that was back when most cars on lots were not locked up. Thay color did not exist. Ive talked to the new owner since then.
