Love it James. Congratulations. I think it’s worthy of a restoration being a solid California car.

Wow. Great find. I guess this is the week for 2nd gen finds. My brother's buddy just picked up a completely original 71 LS3 SS396 Camaro 4 speed. Real clean with original paint and for the same amount. $1,500. I'm looking at the pics and it doesn't look like there is a speck of rot on it. I wish I found that one.

Wow, what a score! Even those aftermarket aluminum window louvers are hard to find!

Yeah, I tried to explain to my wife what treasure is in my shop, but she just said that when I'm gone she is having a scrap metal guy come over and clean the place out.

A friend of mine who knew he was passing had a sign made for his funeral that said "To my friends, don't let my wife sell my cars for what I told her I paid for them". He was a character to the very end.

You should think about sending her a Christmas card with about 500 cash in it. She would be thrilled and you'd feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Wow, thats a deal. Hard to pull these off without outside interference. Almost have to beg the seller to pull the ad and send a decent down payment right away to secure it.
For $1500 I dont think I would bother looking at it too much either. Just try to get the deal done and the car out of there.
