Yeeaaah, I would not be leaving that in the parking lot without someone in the car.

Clone or not it's still pretty rare.

I figured clone at first then noticed the “HEMI ‘Cuda” badge on the shaker was worn looking like maybe a 1970 original along with the lower gills on the rockers. The vinyl top definitely looked original. If it was a clone it was cloned a while ago I think. I should have hung around or casually walked into the place and glanced at the vin to know for sure. Beautiful car either way.

Funny part was that I was on my way to meet someone to grab a one year only 360 air cleaner for our ‘74 at the time. Waited 2 years or more to find one and it popped up on marketplace locally.

I saw this one near my house. I've seen it around a few times but haven't seen the owner yet.

Very nice.

The older I get, the more I appreciate this era.

I have no desire to speed, just want to cruise in comfort but with simple tech. These fit the bill nicely.

I saw this today at the bank.

Saw the truck driving through Napa, CA last week. Dad had one exactly like it but with chrome wheels and Mooneys
.
Saw the Toyota "Century' up on I-5 in NorCal too.

Seems like we're not to far from each other. I know the owner of this '65. I see him from time to time around town or at different get togethers. He's had that car for quite a while if I remember - might have been his dad's?

BTW, a bunch of folks get together informally at CVS/Pancho's Mexican Food on Clayton Rd and Port Chicago on Saturday nights around 5:30-6. I usually try to stop in if nothing else is going on. It would be fun to meet up some time since we're in the same neighborhood.
