High Point was just the next town over from GSO, where John lived.
He bought that Turquoise Vert for cheap somewhere - non running - turned out it just needed a new timing chain gear set.
Ran like New again.
In 1987
He wanted 12,500 for the Turq car (ungodly in 1987)
The Bronze Vert was fresh restored and he wanted 10,500 for it.
I thought he had the prices backwards, he said no they were correct.
I had 8k to spend on a dream car (that would buy a helluva car back then) , but that wouldn't do the trick on that car.
By the following weekend both cars had sold.
I have seen the Bronze car a few times afterwards, but never the Turq car.
He wheeled and dealed as a hobby, was VicePres of a Utility Company
Flipped super nice ultra rare muscle cars like coins in a fountain.
He kept the pair of BirdVerts longer than anything else, was real proud of that pair.

I found a couple pictures I took of that car from the 86 POCI convention. That was the first POCI convention I went to (of maybe 4 total in my life) -- I was going to school in SW Virginia at the time, and drove down in my 67 400 hardtop to see the show on Saturday.
I didn't see the car in the show field -- it was just parked in the spectator area. Note the black hood tach on it.
As I recall, There were only three convertible top color options in '68: Black, white, and teal (like this one).
