I do have a friend I remember saying that he was there at the MM plant in the mid 1960s. He had went along with a guy that was supposed to pick up an M670 Super, but the plant couldnt find that one or didnt have one so they ended up taking a U302 Super. He said they kind of wondered through the plant while they were waiting. He said they were stamping out fenders like were used on the 302s 670s...and the whole floor shook. I think that would have been neat to see. The odd thing when I was at Vo-tech I stopped at an older guys place to look at a parts ZA. He had the belt pulley for it in the garage and I saw he had a 1966 U302 Super off to the side covered with stuff...I asked him if that was for sale and he chuckled and politely said "no.." I found out years later from my friend when he ended up buying it from him..THAT was the U302 Super that was picked up at the plant. The guy still didnt want to sell it but his wife told him "sell it...you arent using it anymore" so he finally did. I guess part of the reason my friend wanted to buy it is because he used to work for the guy and drove the 302. [Reply]   [No Email]
