I walked into the office/lobby of a small car lot in Bentonville, AR about 4 years ago and there was a '69 GTO Judge in near junkyard condition on the floor. I asked about the car...and whoa! The owner of the lot and his wife had bought one new right after they got married, let it go years later. They looked high and low for one to restore and found this car in a junkyard. They had it for something like a year before running across some paperwork and guess what...it was the SAME EXACT car. They were getting ready for a full professional restoration. I wish it was still there I'd give you their info!
