The real deal. I had to settle for a four door with the same 383HP optioned...a great car, went >143K before grenading the transmission during its last official duties---demolition derby.

Nobody called it laazer it was always Lasher. Good times, good times.
I went to school in Steelton PA (a Steel town) . In the mid-late sixties the guys would graduate and go to work for Bethlehem Steel which paid enough that many of the little streets were home to GTOs , Chevelles, MoPars of different varieties and a Vette or two etc. Not many were college bound so there were a bunch that got drafted and when/if they got home they seemed to be partial to BSA, Triumph and HD Sportsters.

Closest I ever came was a clapped-out ‘68 Fury sedan with a 383 my junior year of high school, and a few years later storing a friend’s two-door New Yorker with a 383 in our barn. Not as sexy as the OP’s ad or the Cudas etc...but I loved bombing around in those cars.

We’ll they were fun back in the day and it doesn’t hurt to be nostalgic. We’re in a new era now.
I lived about a mile from that dealership until I was six years old.

I finally understand all threads about Fender price increases when I see they charge more for a 64 Custom Deluxe than a brand new car.

My parents had one when I was pretty young. One of my earliest memories is standing on the hump in the back and leaning over the front seat as we cruised along chatting with/distracting the front seat people.

I left at 23 to go to Colorado. Best move I ever made.

383 HP was definitely NOT a slacker by any way. Loved the Road Runner and tolerated the Super Bird.

My brother had a 69 convertible I believe they only built 500 that year. Solid blue 383 4 speed Mag wheels, boy was I sad when he sold it....But it was a good thing because that would have been WAY to much HP for a first time car for myself..
