Hey Steve, understood...... I love your passion. I want to clarify something ...... in the last 5 years we have only taken in 1 costumer car 1. All of the cars we have restored but 1 have been purchased by Mascar Classics and restored for Mascar Classics. We buy the cars we like and .... at the time ..... we fully intend on keeping them ..... however once they are done, we just can't seem to want to drive them ...... so after seeing this 73 SD Survivor car for sale for so long, I decided to buy it and drive the crap out of it ........ well, after we got it, we saw that in order to make it road worthy, it needed a bunch of stuff done ..... then I was worried about the motor so Kenny pulled the engine to check out the internals and guess what we found..... a pinched cam Bering and had I driven the car much, it most likely would have trashed the motor, so we decided to restore this great car.

My advice, if you buy a survivor it should not be driven it should be stored as is or put on display. I gave this 73 SD more than 1.5 years to sell to someone that would do that ...... guess what, nobody did, so, I payed 109K for the privilege of &quot;in my opinion&quot; doing the car justice and restoring it, hopefully it will be the best in the world....... then after MCACN I am going to drive the heck out of it! HARD [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] it won't be for sale .... for any amount of money, it's my private car.

So the moral of this story is .... if you see a rare survivor and it's desirable ..... you better buy it while you can and preserve it, or stick it in a museum ..... don't drive it &quot;could have a bad cam Bering and you could ruin it&quot; and if you don't buy it, and it's for sale for more than a few month .... well me or some A-Hole like me just might buy it and restore it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Love all of you, respect you all, have fun, live every day to its fullest, love your life and have fun ... I do [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
