Still driving it, hav'nt done the engine bay yet, but got it back to mostly back to how it left the factory,with the correct door panels, bench seat back in and all re-covered correctly, carpet out and vinyl flooring put in ( repo flooring, not original, but still hunting).... That car sure gets a lot of interest when it's out </div></div>

Bob,

You and Helmut can split the costs of shipping both &quot;Black&quot; Post Sedans to my next 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan Reunion.

Dan </div></div>

I think that reunion should happen up here in Calgary... and will include Ken's Daytona Yellow Post Sedan!

I would consider that if the numbers were in your favor, but unfortunately most of the Real Post Sedan's are in the U.S.

Start planning on making a trip in 2014.

Little by little a story is emerging from a guy that knew one of the long-time owners of this car, &quot;Cowboy&quot;.
Here is one of the tidbits he recently told me.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was there when he was painting the car the color is now, cowboy painted it him self in a two car garage off John R and Oakland in Detroit. He cut the hood and had a dual snorkel air cleaner on it with hoses running down to the headlights. He used to call it the robot from the show lost in space because when it was running the motor would shake and it looked like when the robot would say &quot;Danger, Danger&quot; he used to joke and say that the car was telling all of us other racers danger was coming. LOL </div></div>

Man am I depressed. I looked at this car a few years ago when I was looking for a cheap drag car. I was so intent on finding a drag car I didn't pay much attention to what the car actually was. It's been on the Michigan craigslist for a while this time. Good catch guys. For you guys to realize what it was from pics and I didn't catch it in person means I need to pay more attention. Good luck with it!!

Rick,
For what ever reason when my eyes opened this morning this car was on my mind. Anymore progress on this beauty?

[slammed1]

Ditto,was curious how the project has progressed if any lately.
