Yes 700 dollars would have been a great price to pick those up for.

I hear you! This is currently causing turmoil in my mind..... a 72 454 auto convertible, fully loaded, 67,000 miles...... if it was only 10 years older. There is some very light fibreglass damage to the panel between the headlights. I can pick it up for around $20k.... oh the pain.
