    ***************SOLD*********************Selling our 69 GS400
    Car sold new and spent most of its life in Northern California.
    I bought it from a board member in Idaho a few years ago.
    Car was originally pale yellow with black vinyl top and metallic parchment interior.
    I had to replace the rear window filler panel between rear window and deck lid with an Arizona piece, at which time we made the decision to eliminate the vinyl top. I also replaced the decklid with a rust and damage free piece. Original decklid had lock hole

    Yeah. My boy lost interest, and so have I.
    Kinda hard for me to classify this car as a project.......if a person has simple hand tools and can bolt bumpers,door handles,wheel opening moldings on. And install an interior. It will be pretty much done.
    The hard, dirty, expensive part is done.

    I saw this car in person before it was offered for sale and would like to share three observations.

    The paintwork is absolutely gorgeous. It is as straight a car as you could ask for whether you look at it from one direction or another. Tom is correct it is a simple completion at the current stage and you would have a full on show/driver. For the asking price you are years and thousands of dollars down the road than where you'd be starting a someday or next project car.

    Here's a fourth:

    Most importantly - you would be buying a car from one of the men of highest integrity within our community. There are two guys I would like to buy a car from no matter the make or model, Tom Miller is one of them. Hopefully I'll get that opportunity some day, I'd of already bought this car if I weren't as deep as I am in building a nostalgia wagon.

    x2 on Packer Backer. This car never would have made it to listing if I was knee deep in two motors, and Tom is well known for the quality of the cars that he has built.

    MBusher, for your sake I hope those local folks waffle!

    Thanks for the kind words guys. This is more than likely the last car with this level of paint and body for me, at least I think.
    The 63 Drag car I'm building, I'm actually thinking of shooting in Lacquer.
