He bought it from the original owner in 1980. That guy special ordered the car with the black paint, 4 speed, GT package, 390, and originally it had the black exterior, black deluxe interior with both consoles, disc / drum brakes, and no air conditioning or power steering. In Dallas, TX a black car with no A/C and no power anything (except power brakes).
We had it repainted in 1994 and it just needed a bit of touch up and a new stripe kit this month. Too bad the vendors don't offer one that fits.
