BH23G0B113378 M46 Gordon's car

BH23G0B113378

Searching for car. 
May be in the Cullman area of Alabama.
Alan Lemon might know of the whereabouts but can't get him to come off of it.
There is a specific person looking for Gordon's car.

Some of you might remember Gordon's car as he had it for some 15 or more years.
He had cut a bunch of the rust out of the car and had a roller with no floors.  Turns out it wasn't as bad as it was perceived. 

These first pictures are where the car was last I saw it.  I tried to get more info but was not very successful from the seller.

More pics of the car. 
I purchased the scoops off of this car years ago.
Gordon used that money to buy a bunch of parts for the car including a reproduction set of Harm's M46 scoops.   

[cuda hunter]

There is a rebuildable car in there.   
Wish it would resurface and someone who cares about it could throw a bunch of money at it.

Reproduction scoops

The write up from the seller.

Here is the car before anything was torn down.
Notice the primer color on the scoops.

I am not sure if the yellow car is gordon's long before Gordon purchased the car?   

Those pictures of the yellow M46 have been around since I started looking for these cars mid 2000's.   I have tried to research that car but there is a cold path leading back to wherever those pics came from.

Last few straggler pictures.

[cuda hunter]

And, I have never received a picture of the fender tag. 
Not from Gordon, Al or the car salesman.   No one would send it to me, even after begging Gordon to do so. 

Anyone happen to have a picture of this cars fender tag?

This attachment, is a pdf. 
I have had this in Cute PDF form for years.  Now when I open it I can only open it in Adobe acrobat and they want to charge me money just so I can even copy the text on the attachment. 
Does anyone know how I can open the pdf in a window that can be changed to a jpeg or at least be able to copy the text so I can paste it here? 

[cuda hunter]

If I open it from this thread and not my computer it opens in a different format. 
Kind of figured it out, at least an alternative way to get the info.

Radio AM M46 is a choice that you will only find on a
barracuda in 1970 just. Simulated rear quarter scoops,
Non practical, just for looks. It had a black out on the
bottom sides, a blacked out tail panel and a blacked out
grill and valance. The top of the side black out had a blue
and white
or red and white reflective stripe. Very few made. Ive found
4 in 8 years. All with major problems. Out of all those
automobiles (21,891) only 433 M46 cars produced, 415 M46
were V8. total amount of 15 M46 Convertibles.

I can tell you for sure that is not Gordon's car before he got it. He had no pictures of the car in its prime just primer lol.

Not from Gordon, Al or the car salesman.  No one would send it to me, even after begging Gordon to do so.

I MIGHT have a fender tag pic somewhere he would not share the stuff with anyone but I had a camera lol. Have to see if I can dig through my old email that I used during CC.com and see if I can find anything.

Being Gordon's son I am wondering any information anyone has on the car. I was there when he basically stole this car for what he paid in Tennessee in 97-98. Even by those standards he stole it and he knew it that's why he was so secretive about it I guess. Felt a bit guilty from it knowing he did not pay anything close to what the car was worth not to mention the extra parts he got with the car. The parts alone he got were worth the price he paid for the whole thing. I knew this at 9 or 10 not sure how the guy selling the car did not know what he had.

I have nothing left of Gordon's because he chose to not come here to Illinois for 14+ years to see my sister and I let alone our kids, his 6 grandchildren. He passed away alone and broke because of the wives/girlfriends taking all of his money then leaving him with nothing. Would love to have this car back in the family seeing at it was in the family for quite some time just never restored. Always wished that car would be mine some day but then I found out he sold it and was crushed.

Glad you joined up @kotakid94  !!

All the pictures that were on cc. com were lost.  I unfortunately did not copy lots and lots of pics from Both Alan and Gordon.  Those pictures are lost to time since cc took away pictures years ago. 

It would be wonderful to see more pictures of Gordon's car. Especially detail pictures.  I hope you can find some!
