For you "Yinzers".....
A guy who lives near me, Stan bought this car new from a Pittsburgh dealership when he lived in McKees Rocks. Car was not a hugger orange but a special order orange..can’t remember the name. Bracket towing was notorious for scrubbing off front tire tread especially on curvy roads....you "Yinzers" know what the roads are like.... and people in the area know what Yinzers means....
Stan was the automotive manager at the local Bridgeport Ohio Fishers Big Wheel dept store (ala Harts, Aimes, Hill’s etc)in the early to mid 70’s. Built the 396 at the store and kept the motor by the counter for a while. FBW sold a bunch of speed equipment in the day.
This is how the car looks in the late 70’s and still looks this way 100% today-cars in my area tend to be time capsules. ET mags, Lakewood bars, M/T valve covers, Sun gauges and Tach. Car was painted in the late 70's orange with pearl added with micro white metal flake-looks unbelievable real life.
Stan sponsored the local Wheeling Armory car show when he was FBW manager. This was 1973-check out the lower right hand corner.
