Cruiser Sighting on I270 today who is it?

Around 11 this morning on 270 North I spied a sand / tan early hardtop looked to be a 4in. lift, what appeared to be a early 70s 40 with a lone male driver in the local lanes. You got off at Montgomery Village Ave. I thought better of jumping out in the pouring rain and running back to say hello. I did not recognize the truck. Anyone on here or know the owner? Nice looking 40.

Nope, not mine. Right color & lift , but with soft top.

Sounds like the same one I saw about a year ago on I370. Really great condition.
