Sent the guy an email, a couple of days ago. This would be a car I would be very tempted to bring home. No response, so I guess it's gone.

Don't worry, Mike. It's sitting safely on my trailer, in my driveway, waiting for me to unload it and put it inside, tomorrow.

I'm really surprised none of the other Ohio guys sniffed this one out. It came with a TON of parts, including engine, 4 spd, dif & rear subframe w/suspension and just about every part that could be removed from an earlier (roundie) car that the seller got when he purchased this car. He tells me it was originally from the Youngstown area.

Anyway, it's really more of a project than I wanted to get into, given my current project load, but after I said I didn't think I wanted to get into it, the guys asked me to just give him a number.......so I did, assuming he'd say "thanks, but no thanks". Well, after I rejected a counter-number, he said "OK, it's yours". He really needed to get it gone.

As of this point in time, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it. It's VERY much worth doing a full restoration on......it's a very nice, straight, relatively solid car with sunroof and a/c and in an interesting, original color. I've kinda fallen in love with it, so it may get pulled into my shop this winter........

Thanks for "bird-dogging" that one, Mike.
