Thanks 6T5 Cat - that car was my uncle's from 1964-1969. It was raced regularly at Lake Geneva WI and sometimes at Union Grove WI during this period.
My uncle sold it to a kid from Glenview IL who ended up getting drafted into the Vietnam war.
The last time he saw it was in '69 until Mecum's auction came to Pheasant Run this summer. My uncle had heard of a rare '62 (bench seat manual with 413 cross ram) that was up for auction. He went to the auction with his old paperwork on the car (VIN and other items including pictures) and low and behold it was his car. My uncle said he was literally shaking as he realized the VIN no.'s matched up.....
Supposedly the car was last owned by a fella from Downers Grove IL who ended up selling it to whoever owns it now and put it up for auction.
