Yup and I've already been outbid. With over 100,00 miles on the car, I just cannot bring myself to bid more on it. Good Luck and Best wishes!

Yep, she's a beauty. Even if she isn't perfectly stock. It's interesting how we are all willing to sink thousands into our projects--always knowing that we'll never come close to getting back out what we put into our cars.

I've only just begun and haven't even scratched the surface of what I need to invest on my '70:

Fluids, belts, filters, battery, transmission gasket/filter, thermostat, carb rebuild kit, fuel pump: $600.
Transportation from Northern Cal to SoCal: $900
Replacement Front Grille and wheel caps that barely qualify as serviceable: $500.
New Door gaskets: $325 (not yet purchased)

It's a good thing I enjoy working on cars as much as I like driving them.

Or maybe I need another medication adjustment.
