i'll go. I found mine listed in the Oakland (CA) tribune in 1973. asking price - $300.00
I went and checked it out. Had a 265 v8 set in at an angle to clear the steering box & a 3spd with overdrive. It ran on 7 cylinders but the body was straight and no rusted out panels. I offered $200.00 and drove it away for $235.00. I drove it that way for about a year. Then scored a 327 that was built for a sprint car by a friend. Still driving it today with that 327, m21 and a 12 bolt. still scares the hell out of the imports.
