Looking at the 99 pictures, that is a major restoration.

Looks like it will take a lot of $$$ to restore/refurbish.

WOW , I,m out on that car .
over 6k seems pretty steep to me . But then again I,ve been looking at some other cars to buy and it seems like all of them are on the rise .
The economy must not be too bad .

That's too bad, John.  I guess that's only good news for us if the values of our classics are truly on the rise......

Keep looking!

Chuck ,
Not complaining , I think these 65 GS,s are way under valued .  I just never knew how many parts for them were specific to this year and model only .

You've got that right John!  We certainly don't buy these as a sound investment!

Some of these sales never materialize either. Both projects and done cars. It really needs to be disposable income.

I noticed that too, Jim.  His three day auction started with 6 days left......   :BangHead:
