Mitch Lewi’s 429 CJ Cougar

We are now at 73 cars/serial numbers reported, several are reported as scrapped.
That data on several cars is incomplete.  They are a result of partial door data tags and serial number research records done by Lois Eminger and partial VIN numbers reported from engine/transmissions.
Two cars have been identified in magazine articles since the early to mid 80’s. These cars have not been matched to an actual car in the registry.
