    I picked up a 70 today for 1300. It has been changed to a 302, with Grabber spoiler and mirrors. It has one spot of rust in the rear quater about the size of a dime. The floor pans are all solid. Just one more project in the mix. I just have to stop buying and start restoring the ones I have.

    Looks like a great deal to me, heck if I hadnt spent all my funds on stroker motor I would have probably beat you to that one. Been awhile since I have been to Spokane to pick up a car.

    Your right though you need to get to restoring, but buying them is a lot of fun and a means to an end. :thumbs2:

    I sold the yellow one to a guy in Olympia to start getting to work and then this comes along. I just can't help myself.

    I saw that car and thought about checking it out. Not a bad deal, considering it was listed at $2000 when I saw it.
