    Found this one in the north west of the province, Florenceville to be exact , 34k miles,I think it's more like 134k but the body is not bad . Young kid bought it from out west and started restoring it and ran out of money and courage.Was on kijiji since last spring and never sold so I made an offer and he accepted it's got it's issues but all in all not a bad little car.At least i'm back in the game!!

    Nice car! How is the black one doing? Have you had the paint stripped and primed yet? How is the body?

    Then you gotta fix it, that's the bottom line, you owe it to yourself, your Dad and the car!

    Sorry for your loss but you'll get thru it. I lost a 69 GTO 400 4 spd to fire. At least you were able to salvage it. All I had was the drive train. I still get sick when I look at those pics and that was 30 years ago.

    Yeah i still get that sick feeling too everytime i look at the pics. But i'm gonna try it one more time .Had a call this week from someone local that i don't even know and have never met who wants to donate a trunk .Heard of our bad luck thru someone who heard thru someone and so on and so on . This guy is restoring a 74 nova and had a good trunk lid . Heard that mine is damaged beyond repair and wants to donate I offered to buy but he won't hear of it .Still a heck of alot of good car people around .I'm going to meet him in the morning and take a look at it. Mike
