Diego , could you confirm this car is still alive and has known whereabouts ?
Not looking for name address and phone number - lol - just enough info and details to let us know its condition and status.

A name or nickname would be good - even if you have to create one.
Thanks Man.

Baron,
The black/turquiose painted top car was ordered by my dad through my grandpas dealership.
I'm a little late to the party, Rocky had called our shop this afternoon and talked with me since the old man is on vacation this week. I remember some of the options the car had, but will ask him when he gets back, and share the info.

My dad had found all the origional billing sheets and paperwork from his roomates ram air bird, but has still unable to find the paperwork on his, and dosen't have the vin #, otherwise we probablly would have the car tracked down.
He did get close to finding the car back in the late 80's or earlly 90's and it was in a small town in Iowa yet, he had hurd that the car was there, and drove around the town, and asked several people if they had seen the car or knew the owner. Several car guys had rememberd seeing the car, but no one had really known the guy, as he had only lived in the town for a few months and moved away.
Thats the last known whereabouts and leads that we had on the car.

My dad has a few color pics of the car that i'll try to get scanned and put on here sometime this week!

Oh and from earlier talk on here, dad was the same dealer that ordered the 73 sd ta in primer, he had orderd alot of rare and unusual combinations of cars while he was a dealer.

Thanks for sharing those details with us Racer81x.
Would be great to see pics of such an interesting car in unusual colors.
Has he ever mentioned why he went with Turquoise Roof ?

If Diego knows that the car is still alive , i'll add it to the list.
If not - we'll put it in as MIA - until someone verifies ownership.
Can't be many - if any - others with that combo.

He never mentioned why he chose that combination, I think just for something different, his first 3 brand new cars were all solid color, then he had a new 66, and a new 67 tempest both were black with a gold painted top 326 HO with heavy duty 3speed, then he got the black and turquiose ram air bird untill late 70 or early 71 and got a new 71 black with gold painted top 455 HO T-37

He sold the black/turquiose ram air bird to a guy from our town who worked as a lineman for a electric company, and he drove it for a couple years and sold it to another guy he worked with who transfered to another town.
My dad had last seen the car in the late 70's or early 80's as he was driving past a gas station in a town in mid western iowa,(name withheld for now), he looked over and seen a guy putting gas in it, and pulled in and talked to to the guy that owned it for a couple minutes, the guy was planing on repainting it, and keeping it the same color combination.


Cammer, I was with my dad when he looked for the car in the late 80's or early 90's, but I was either in elementary or middle school then, and don't remember the town that we checked out that the that the car was last seen in. I will ask dad when he gets back from colorado on sunday and PM you the name of the town.
