Re: Only in Canada (paso)
Paso,
You knew I could not pass this one by without comment ;) . The 1981 is within market range, whatever dollar you use. Sounds like a car in need of interior, mechanical and paint work. A beater. Same for the 1963. Probably an old drag car that needs $20,000CDN to get back to respectability. Just my own cynical comment as usual. Most sellers these days are pretty sophisticated and do their internet homework very well. The true bargains are scarce. Please do not tell me they were found in a barn covered with pigeon droppings....That story is becoming tiring.

Re: Only in Canada (Roger76)
The 63 split window went the First day :sad: Was going to drive out there just see what kind of shape it was really in, and compare it to the sellers comments. Sold Must have been all true. Good thing I didn't get up early and drive as if it was that good I would not of wanted to walk away from it. AS it is one of my favorites. I would have much more enjoyed going out there to look at it for someone else :)
