    Sorry need one for bucket seat car. Dave just rearranging the inventory . White car and UPS Olds now in Mass. Both sold to same buyer. Had to have the 71 Peruvian Silver W-30 back in the stable. Can't keep em all . Have other cars in the oven so to speak.

    John:

    If you changed wives as often as you change these fabulous cars, you'd be flat assed broke! Good thing you're an attorney.

    Did you see the Peruvian Silver 68 HT that's on ebay right now? That is drop- dead gorgeous.

    Dave if I didn't have a great wife--she would kill me and it wouldn't matter if I was broke. These cars are fun and I hope to own a lot more before the grim reaper comes. Someone on the Board said " You are going to be dead a long time so enjoy the cars." When I got the Silver W-30 back, I put the top down (Never down when I owned it before ) and drove it around town. It is still down and I am enjoying the car. These cars actually make money and it is how I justify this foolish passion to my family. The EBAY 68 is a 4 speed and is not overpriced. Would make you a great stablemate. John

    Nice car, great wife

    Link to the 68 442 on ebay. I agree it's not overpriced, just have to like cars like this.

    I also have a great wife (we celebrate our 36th anniversary next Monday), and although she threatened murder a few times over the years, never followed through. Best thing that happened was when the stock market tanked a few years ago, but the value on these cars went the other way. She has new respect for this passion. Not for me, just the value of the cars. :laugh:

    Hey John,
    Never saw the 70 in person, but did see a pic. and have been told about the car. veeeeery nice. :TU: I did see the UPS car in person though. Had like only 1076 miles or something insanely low like that right? Anyway, Dave Bunch is back on realoldspower.com and he's looking for the vinyl flooring for his 70 F-85 W-31. He's been through hell the last two years. Didn't you say you have a source for that? I also ask because I may need it for my 70 F-85, although hopefully the stains will come out of my vinyl flooring.

    John, Do you still need a headrest? If so I'll take a pic of the ones I have. They are white.

    Hi John,

    Well I tried to clean these up but no luck, they are pretty stained. I assume you were looking for good to new condition? These would need to be recovered unless you know some way to clean them.
