    Dave, I think it will make Blugene feel better if you buy some parts from me.

    I can't sell my Green 72 either. I will just hold on to it. I just can't bring myself to part it. The green is cool and not seen much.

    Yeah......I think the 72 GT would make a better canidate for a resto than for a parts car? :huh:

    yeah, maybe one of these days I'll (or someone else) will do something with it. it's not beyond fixing, just missing the spindles, rear end and a fender

    wasn't that bad but i wanted a better one on it


    yeah, it looks worse than it is. this car has alot of surface rust from the salty winter roads of Indiana (i'm assuming, lol)



    who knows, maybe i am crazy for fixing it but im still going to :dance:
