The white car was in the Otis Chandler collection, and was featured in the Randy Leffingwell book "American Muscle". The story in the book says that Cheskaty was an engineer with the Atomic Energy commision, single and living at home. He bought the car for full sticker in Salt Lake City and drove it home to Denver.
Lucky for him, Sunoco 260 was around .35 cents a gallon. This car was what you'd call thirsty.
