Mark, Congrats! How about some more details and pictures. Car sounds similarly equipped to my 69 BM. We will have to line them up at the '03 Reunion.

Re: It will turn at least 120mph in 11.50 or better!
 

OKAY let's Line them up!! The car is Lemans Blue (No it's Not the one from Florida) I just picked it up Monday from Michigan. The car has Only 10,320 miles on it and I got it from the 2nd owner. I think it will be something new to see as it has been out of circulation for about 20 years.. Thanks, Mark <font color="blue"> </font color>

Re: It will turn at least 120mph in 11.50 or better!
 

I thought it might have been the 68 BM from TN that is currently in HMN. Anyone know about that one? Mark, could you post some pictures? Sounds like quite a find.

Re: It will turn at least 120mph in 11.50 or better!
 

YES this is the car from Hemmings.
I heard about the car when I was at GM Carlisle. I picked up the car 1 day before the ad came out. The car was in Michigan. The car doesn't need much--just a little engine compartment detailing. I also ordered new cragars and red-line tires for it. Nice color combination and sounds like its ready to race!!
