    Holy cow I was thinking about sending a deposit

    I talked to the guy and wow am I gald I didn't send that deposit. He told me all orig paint, buckets, no rust he could see (guess hes blind and forgot to mention that), excellent paint. Just amazing what some people will say regardless of how far the person they are talking to may have to travel. I went to NJ (2000 miles) one time a while back and looked at 2 different cars that two different guys had and they both were so full of sh*t there eyes were brown. I swore I would never buy a car east of the Mississipi river again.
    Thanks again to Bob in St Louis who offered to go look at the car for me. Steve

    We have a 72 GS 455 conv. "basket case" that may end up for sale.
    The complete chassis has been rebuilt/restored (numbers matching).
    But the body is totally disassembled, needing quarters, outer wheelhousing repair, trunk floor, and a dash housing (windshield leaked and rusted out along the bottom edge. But the main floor pan, rockers, windshield frame, etc. are great. Spent it's life in Colorado Springs and Denver area before coming to Wyoming in the early 90's. It's a code 56 (Sunburst Yellow/White top/White interior).
