I found my build sheet, a handful of misc screws, a quarter from 67 and a pennie from 62, gum wrapper, a little stack of address labels from indiana (I wonder if this was the original owner?) and also a cigar band.

also the date code on the back of the carpet was 11 9 68.

Nice to see they haven't changed those gum wrappers in 40 years...helps keep gum costs down. :2thumbs: ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Nice piece of history!  you probably wont find anything on Mark... the town of Hamilton Indiana was a whopping 537 in 1970!   ;)

Hmmm.... Sixth down from the top. Age 54 would put him as a teenager in 1970, unless the age is outdated, like from 2004 or something.

If you do a 411 search for M Atkin in Hamilton, IN, it shows a Melvin Atkin in Hamilton, IN.

Searching Google, I found a result of an obit of the sister of a Mark A. Atkin in Georgia, who both had a father named Melvin Atkin.

"Deborah was preceded in death by her father, Melvin A. Atkin.

    Survivors include her son and daughter-in-law, Marc Crawford and Lisa Atkin, of Rossville; mother, Mildred Atkin Seckinger, Sylvania, Ga.; brother, Mark A. Atkin, Sylvania, Ga.; sister, Beverly A. Isaac, Athens, Ga.; longtime companion, Virgil L. Bullock, Chattanooga; grandson, Caleb Atkin; granddaughter, Abigail Atkin.

Wow that is one original car 40 years later.  You be lucky, very lucky.  :yesnod:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Very cool.  I grew up about 20 min from Hamilton, IN.  We played them in football/basketball regularly in high school.  Unfortunately, I can't say I remember seeing your car around the area (and I know I would have remembered it if I did).
