I bought my 55 in Allendale S,C. in 1984 while on a hunting trip. We Stopped at a bar for some refreshment and I could not help but see the headers under the 55 sitting out front. When I went into this fine establishment I was introduced to the guy shooting pool at THE pool table. He wanted 1,800.00 for the car.
This is a gypsy red and shoreline beige HT with a 327 and 4 speed.
I didn't have the coin and he gave me his phone number if I wanted to see if I could work it out. This was in October. I called him back in Feb. and he still had it but wanted 2,000.00. I said I would think about it. He called two days later and wanted to know if 200.00 was keeping from buying the car and I said yes. He said come get it for 1800.00. I took my wife up to see the car the following sat. and had to meet at the bar since I didn't know where he lived.

Here he came down US 301 downshifting the 4 speed. My wife looked at me and said buy that sucka. I can still see the image, man was that thing cool.
