Cool Story: This is a rare car. It is one of only 212 Stage 1 convertibles built for 1969 and one of only 77 delivered with a 4-speed. The car was drag raced in 1969-70 at famous east coast strips, including Lebanon Valley, Utica, Dover, Island Raceway, etc. The original invoice, ownership manual, and Protect-O-Plate are still with the car.
