Hello all
Thank you for the add.
To be short, We have a 1995 Coupe that we've owned since June 2011. It's our driver. We bought a 1974 convertible last Sept.. This one is destined to be our "show car". Once I clear the garage of a previous project I can start on the 74. I am/was a private pilot and I was building a homebuilt airplane. For health reasons I've self grounded myself. Once the plane is gone the 74 goes in.
Sorry - I never mentioned where we're located - Machesney Park, ILL. (About half way between Rockford,IL and Beloit, WI).
I'm a retired USAF MSgt - crew chief/aircraft mechanic as well as a retired DoD Quality assurance inspector.
In the for what it's worth dept. I've been told I have a great sense of humor. Need that living in Illinois.

Hey Bro,
So a fellow USAF puke I did 22 yrs 43171. I know they changed the AFSC system under McPeak but we old timers never learned it.
This is a 74. Rear cover is post 74 but VIN says 74. She'll need a lot of work. 50 foot paint job. My wife and I at the sellers place.
