The 71 I found on e-bay..was outbid and contacted the seller and told him if the high bidder did not follow thru I was still intrested in the car....about 2 months later I got a call that the other guy sent a deposit but never compleded the deal. I drove up to look at the car (about 2 hrs away from me), made him an offer and told him I'd have the $$ within a week. This was thousands less than what the auction had ended for, and even less than I'd bid...but the quick $$ got me the car.
Found the 74 on cars-on-line.com in December 04....guy who restored the car would not talk on the phone, so i did all the dealing with the wife. She told me they had LOTS of calls, but i was the first one who would agree to pick up the car personally, as she did not want someone to be disappointed with it if they just had it picked up by a transporter. Drove 460 miles one-way to get it, drove out and back within 20 hours, and had the pleasure of trailering thru a snowstorm for the first time in my life. Car was exactly as she had described it.
