3...I bought my 69 LeMans from the son of the original owner in 2005 in Birmingham Alabama. The original owner was one of the two founders of a very large law firm in the South Eastern states.
He bought the car for his wife as a 25th anniversary gift in December 1968. She used it as a daily driver for two or three years but they decided to keep it after that as a Sunday drive car. He passed away in the early 2000's and she lost her license in 2005 which triggered the decision to sell since their children didn't want it.
Now I'm getting contacted by some of the grand kids who recall going for drives with grandpa and would like the car back. However since my kids grew up riding around in that car for the last 11 years I couldn't sell it even if I wanted to!
Btw, when I bought it the only thing missing was the headrests. They told me that their grandfather was a good Conservative thinker and he was very upset about the new for 69 mandated headrests, he threw them out at the dealer taking delivery of the car.
Took me a few years to find nice replacements!
