This is a long story so I am going to try and make it a little shorter. Saw this car about 11 years ago, guy was working on it, asked if it was for sale he said no. While sitting outside shop, car gets hit on the passenger 1/4 and tail panel. We become friends and talk cars whenever I see him. Car sits for a long time with" it's not for sale" the usual response. Fast forward to the summer of 2003, friend says to start making room for the car. I was a liitle startled because I had just bought the blower car about a month before. October, friend says come and pick the car up. I locate a tail panel and trunk lid. Had the 1/4. Another friend installed them, but he did not have the time to finish. So the car sits for a while. Clean up the motor a little bit.Now the bug to drive this car is getting me a bit excited. The car has been insured for over a year. It's registered with plates so as soon as it comes from the shop it will be almost ready to go. Friend is going to do the entire front end while he has the car there. I had all the bushings waiting to be installed.I just bought a driver 1/4 at Englishtown, N.J.He is going to install that.As far as price like I said I am looking for decent, not a show winner. He did a pretty good job on my friend's 64 cutlass 442, so since I bought the car from him I was willing to give him the opportunity to see it get finished. He is not in the best of health so he has employees doing the work. So the only major item left after this will be the convertible top. Car is FE5 red with a whitepower convertible top and black interior,318 auto w/ console.Will try to take some pictures, should get the car back in about a month.
