So I don't know how to pull Jon's comments on the rarity of a 3spd convertible over to the "cars wanted" section but I figured I didn't want to confuse people with the "small badge" subject line on the other topic.
While we were in Ames, a guy came up to us on the second day and said he knew of a 3spd convert in Iowa that had been outside for awhile but was complete and restorable. He said that the owner wanted $6000 for it which seemed too steep to me but I did want to see it. The gentleman we spoke to said he wanted a finder's fee before he would disclose the location of the car but that it was in Iowa in a salvage yard and the owner was not very committed to selling it. I gave the guy my phone number but he never called me. Obviously i don't NEED this car but a 3spd convert would be something I would really think about doing. He said that this car has power windows, and (I think) posi. In August I was only mildly interested in this car, but it has been a long winter and i would like to hunt it down. I figure if Jon has only seen one decent one then this thing is worth looking at. Does anyone else reecall speaking to this guy?
