Thanks for posting the pictures Jeff. Cant believe how different the car looked then, its like stepping back in time. Im glad that shes back to standard now though! Are you still in contact with your colleague?
Is it possible to track down previous owners of vehicles in the US, so that you can try and get some old photos of your car?

It's been a couple of years since I talked to Mr. Stephenson (Stevenson), but I'll look when I'm at work and PM you his contact info. The picture with the people in it was titled, "Me, Nick, and Granddad with Superduty." I'm assuming that Nick is the guy in the foreground with the white t-shirt.
As far as my car, I've tried doing a little investigative research in tracking down previous owners. I do know that the original owner and second owner (who owned the dealership that sold my car) have both passed away. After that, the car changed hands quite a few times in the 80s, but I haven't been able to find those people, despite having their names. Everyone has moved, making tracking difficult at best. I have talked to the 2 owners previous to my owning the car, but that only gets me back to about 1994. I'd like to hear the story from one of the owners during the late 80s/early 90s who wrecked the car. #8 cylinder has been sleeved, left quarter, right fender, and hood have been replaced. Car was repainted and engine rebuilt in early 90s. When I got the car, it had 6 leaf springs on right side, 5 on the left, as well as a few other mods. I've got this vision in my head of an engine blowing and the car running into a track wall. Either that, or something involving cans of beer. It does intrigue me.
