Bill... I agree on the price spread between auto & 4-speed HO cars. 986 autos were built compared to 116 total 4-speed cars (94 wide ratio / 22 close ratio w/3.90 gear).

The Red '70 SJ 455 4-speed that Charley & I owned keeps going up every time it sells. It's now for sale at $75K!! This '69 HO 4-speed is a far better car, not to mention rarer and more desirable.

Dave Simpson... Don't know if it's true, but I heard that Reggie bought it when his cars went up for auction. The car still wore my personalized CA plates that I ordered for it. Once again, this car was misrepresented as being a low mileage original.

Grant painted it and I think repaired rust around the rear window. He also did the interior. I rebuilt the engine.
