well thanks, a least two of us are happy, im glad to have it out of my driveway and another car lover is happy. there are deals out there, but you have to be willing to get them, currently i am going to pick up a 1970 olds 442, no option car in virginia with 50000 orig miles. never been apart or in an accident. car has documentation to prove it and carfax and olds organizations have written its original. value as is is well into the 30000 plus price tag. got it for less than 2000. yup priceless history to me for cheap. you have to work for what you want and be willing to go get it. glad to see your happy ron, it was a pleasure.
