- It's not too cramped for me. The worst was this car! Had to change the wheel to a 13&quot; Moto Lita to even sit in it!



Back to the Boss 9 - tank &amp; lines cleaned, fluids changed, new battery, etc. Tomorrow is &quot;start day&quot;. Waking it up after a long slumber.

Looking the car over more. Verifying what I saw at inspection, Appears OE drive train. Block is correct 429HP with vin stamp @ rear of block, trans is RUGAZ with vin stamp up top, rear is correct 3.91 RUG with good date for car. Researching ownership history - I'm back to 1974. Like most of these supercars, interesting story to tell.

Tracked ownership back to the second owner on 1975. Got this picture from one of the owners - believed to be late 70s vintage. Turns out I'm the 8th owner.
