    Help

    Hi Guys,
    I tried to attach a few pics today, but nothing ever happens, the green bar fills up at the bottom and the hourglass thing never stops, what is the size limit for these attachments? Thanks

    72 GS Stage1

    Found this car sitting in a garage 2 miles from my house. The guy I bought the car from had his mother give it to him after college. He told me his mom did not like to drive it because it was too "jumpy". During and after college he had a company car and never drove it. Needless to say the car was in very original condition. The water pump, master cylinder, plug wires (dated '75)and tires were the only things ever changed on the car. The tires were put on in '76. It took a lot of talking and a good amount of cash but untouched cars are'nt just parked everywhere. The bonus is that the thing is loaded. It was a dealer showroom car in Sarasota FL. ordered by Jax. headquarters. I have since taken the body off, painted the frame, engine, body etc. and upgraded the circa '70s polyglas tires.

    after junk was removed

    The car was used as a storage shelf. This is after I unpiled all of the junk. At the time I was wondering how I was going to be able to talk this man into selling me his moms car. He was very attached.

    mileage

    actual mileage - notice the speed alert on 70 just the way mama left it. The interior was moldy as you can see, so I was not sure how it would clean up. Fortunately it cleaned up beautifully - looks like new.

    heading to new home

    Had to pay and go before he changed his mind. I really thought this man was going to cry. Actually his wife saw $ which translates to new furniture and shoes. So She helped me push him to sell it. I'l post some good current pics this weekend.
