Re: 1st '69 Mach1 SJC 4.30 ordered found

Yeah, the hero car from Bullitt, sold to a private owner and then daily driven and beaten on with a family daily for years. This very first Mach 1, discovered in Pennsylvania in a hundred pieces with hacked up panels and no drivetrain. The first two Pontiac Firebirds ever built, found in a barn in Connecticut in pieces with the engines out of them. You hear stories like this and think how could this happen? It just goes to show you how back in the 60s and 70s nobody knew that those cars would be worth the kind of money that they are today. My father has said many times, "If we'd known that, we'd have stocked barns full of them."
