 That was in 1967-- and it did not have the mystique of today.

Oh NOOO!!!! I suppose it could have been.worse, it could have been the big block 
car, but even losing a small block is a terrible loss!

it from the Lincoln dealership because they got three of them and sold them in 
one day, ordered three more and sold two over the next year.  He kept one 
because the new 427 was coming and that beastie was even more than he wanted.  
The guy who owned the dealership drove this one for about a year and a half, got 
umpteen tickets, and decided to sell it to me as a "demo" for fifty eight 
hundred, a good notch down from the sixty four hundred on the original, and in 
67 the garbage truck got it and two other cars when it's brakes went out and the 
driver decided sideswiping a group of parked cars and stopping that way was 
better than driving through downtown without brakes.
