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.

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

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.

**mhassett** · #5 07-04-2002, 01:28 AM

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!!
