Sigh, I bought a 66 GS vert around Thanksgiving. Brought it home, wrapped it in tarps for the coming rains, and today it's still sitting on the trailer with a foot of snow on it! C'mon Spring!!!

Wow, Jim.  I thought that was going to be your brother's car.  Art thou coveting thy brother's Howitzer???   :laughing7:

I?m passing on the car, let me know if anyone wants info. It is very nice underneath, the undercoating did it?s job. Needs paint, would look great in original Seafoam green! Trunk, floors, frame, rocker panels, quarters, etc. all very, very nice. Auto on column, numbers matching motor, tilt wheel, non posi, needs headliner, interior needs smell eradicated.

no, that was back in the mid 80's when film was required for pictures and i bought beer instead.. it was painted blue by the guy i sold it to and then sold again.  the car was restored and currently lives in Texas from what i heard. I bought it from a Church that bought the car new and it was used to tow a small trailer around for mobile preaching. it was a very fast car for being bone stock.
