I would like to see it too, but Im afraid Ive had to shift gears on the boat idea. My wife has been resisting, and with so many things going on, it doesnt look like it will happen soon, at least not this year.  :'(

Woah, soooo nice.
I want to see that picture.
I hope you love the car as much as I have. In 6 years I have put hundreds and hundreds of hours of time, and lots of $$ into it.
Like I said, you will have some questions, so just call or text. Its got its own personality, like all cars and I think you'll get along good, plus things like the fuel pump shutoff switch, etc. I just got up and going to spend the next couple hours in the garage before the shipper comes later.

Tommy,

I know you can close this deal.   :grinyes:

You're good at that right?

Right now you're on some trial closes.

Thanks everyone, and again, I still will be on here, but probably asking questions about a 71-72 Road runner  :bigsmile:
Im looking at one right now in good condition, maybe not as nice as my cuda, but very little rust, and its a TX9. Also, its about half the cost. I love those 71-72 b-bodies, but as CP will tell you, for some reason they dont get as much love as we think they deserve. Its a 72 though, with the 400 smog motor, but the owner claims it runs stronger than its reputation. But I hear they can be built with new pistons and a 440 crank into a 451 torque monster.
If I get one, it will be the same formula I used before... buy the nicest one I can, and slowly upgrade it.
Drive it occasionally, but not too much, keep it in an air conditioned garage, and never let it see rain.
