Please send me a Facebook message with your mailing address, phone number(s), and email address so that I can update your Registry entry. If you havent done so already, I strongly recommend that you order a Deluxe Marti Report ($40) or an Elite Marti Report ($200) from Marti Auto Works (martiauto) for your car to learn all of the important dates (order received date, actual build date, sold date, etc.), the selling dealership, and other build statistics. I have DMRs for all 6 of my 1967 FoMoCo products, and EMRs for 2 of them. Thank you again for contributing to the Registry, Cristian.
