Thanks for the welcome. No, didn't get the 79. Windshield pillars were really rusted, and with all the other work it needed, was more of a project than I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip on the 69, but I'm not really looking for a convertible. Are you still looking? A gal over here has a 79 with a new (4-5 years) ZZ4. Really clean, she wants $11,500, but might come down some, still a bit out of my range. I've got 7-8 cars in So Cal I was going to look at this week, but airfares right now are outrageous, so if I don't find anything here first, I'm going over on the 26th. Been hearing some ugly stories about Matson though.
I was looking to "upgrade" from my '73 to an earlier model vert is why I was looking. After coming back and looked at mine, I just couldn't part with it then. I think to ship it from the mainland is around 1000 to 1500 from what I hear. Is there a particular year you are looking for? Also, what is your price range for finding one? I will keep my eyes out for you here.

I'm looking between 68-77, kind of partial to the 73's, but from what I'm finding, the 77's seem to be a bit more affordable. Like to spend between $8000-$9000, if I can find something here.
I thought Matson was the only game here, but just found this co. called CSX, $830 to Honolulu, $870 neighbor islands.
If you hear of anything, you can email me at miller15@hawaii.rr.com
