Thanks Doug,will do.
Here's a pic that was posted over on Yenko.net that was taken at a Chevy dealer circa fall/winter 1969/70 on Sunrise Hwy in Freeport,NY:
This is when the original driver Bruce Bohen owned it,kinda hard to read but it lists the cost at $16,285.
Dad says they just gave the car to Bruce,he doesn't remember any cash exchanging hands.
