1966 cutlass 455 trade or sale for mopar

I like those. I had a 66 98 425 posi in burgundy.
A guy in the body shop had a 66 Cutlass 331 (?) in the same color.
He blew up his motor and I got rear-ended and trashed one quarter.
I tried for two years to get that guy to either sell me the Cutlas, or at least buy my 425, but he wouldn't do either. It was almost like they were meant to be together.
What a wasted opportunity.
