Ed Meyer, Imperial, MO Mfg Date April 1970 Body RO26747, Model 7079-7 Trim 064E, Paint 87-A Prod # E07821, VIN # AOC797P245048 360, auto, power steering, floor shift, power brakes, front sway bar, center console, disc front brakes, functional ram air, options include: Left mirror, green corduroy interior, chrome on doors and clock. AM radio. I am not the original owner and my car is not for sale. I am either the 2nd or 3rd owner of this car. I found it in 1984 when I was delivering pizza's. I talked the lady into selling it to me for $700.00. I drove the car to a Nashville Car show in August 1988. It was a memorable trip because the fuel pump went out and I got married that Monday (8/8/88). We drove to Branson. MO and then back to St. Louis, MO. When we got back home, I discovered I had two (2) dead cylinders (#'s 1 & 8). I rebuilt the 360 and drove it until 1992, when I started a Heat and Cooling Company. The water pump started leaking, but before I could replace it, my brother-in-law took the battery for his ford, now I am waiting for him to bring back the battery. Then an old patch on the gas tank started leaking, so the Donohue sits under the car port on blocks with a car cover. Currently in 2003, I have started working on the car, the gas tank is fixed and I now have a garage so I hope to go through the motor this winter. Oh yeah, when I got the car, I found glass under the back seat and one of the fenders looked newer. I suspect it had been in an accident at one time. Latest updates (August 2005) Currently my car is in the body shop, the 360 has been built & is ready! Also, I am in the process of ordering the green corduroy.
