any idea why do many of these cars went to Colorado? Little Red, Eric's car(67 500) and #101?

I can only surmise someone there had a connection and wanted the used cars. All the cars (new and used) from Pletcher Ford went there when that dealership closed down.

Looks like they have updated the auction listing for Don!

Don, just a few more weeks and you can bid away!

[Coralsnake]

I will post some of the pre restoration photos Soon

[Coralsnake]

Some of these are Phils photos. He did a great job working on the car

They represent some of the extra sound deadner. I will go into how I deducted that "sound pkg" was actually sound deadner

[Coralsnake]

Obviously not normal applications of deadner and all done at the same time.

Even under the car, so someone had a goal in mind, the presence of the factory style jute inside the car was also a clue

[Coralsnake]

One day I found someone that had posted a bunch of invoices they found. These were for 1969 cars. But, one notation stood out to me. NVH is noise, vibration and harshness. A very common feature on a 1969 Mach 1, tested on a 1968 Shelby before the introduction of the Mach 1

I have no ideas, that document really has no connection to 101 other than providing the key to deciphering the "sound package" notation on the engineering inventory sheet

The facility on Oakwood Blvd. was just down the street from the Dearborn Proving Grounds.
