Default Nervous anticipation!!!!

After selling my '63 I was on the hunt for a '66 Mosport coupe. Made a reasonable offer on one not expecting to be accepted but lo and behold its now mine. With gas prices the challenges to find shippers is a problem and I will not receive it for 2 more weeks. I think it was well bought but until arrival can only go with pics (40) and description. Seems through my research on number of Mosport coupes remaining are less than 500. Will update with pics and data upon arrival. begee22

It is a large several locations special interest car ddealership that ALWAYS causes me to be skeptic but after many,many inneractions with sales person and numerous questions I made the offer which was accepted. New paint, original factory engine,4spd Muncie trans, rear end, P/B, P/A, shielding, Protecto Plate, owners manual plus after previewing body, hood, headlight gaps I couldn't help myself with an offer. I remember hearing once Columbus took a chance so why not me hopefully it is what I'm anticipating. STREETSIDE CLASSIC CARS in PHOENIX stock #5011 begee22

Mosport green with the dark green interior is an awesome combination! Looking forward to your review.

Streetside is a consignment dealer. I bought Fatboy from their Dallas location and sold my ‘61 through them. Basically, their transport guy showed up with Fatboy and loaded up my ‘61 for the return trip. They were fair, but they are used car salesmen so there is that. Nothing on Fatboy was original. Wrong engine, wrong paint, wrong interior, wrong rear end, and pretty worn out, but Chris went over and inspected him for me and there was zero rust. I made a low ball offer given what I saw and after one round of negotiation he was mine. We were both happy and I’m sure you will be also.

Oh my! The 63 is sold and now replaced with a 66. Looks to be a great car, I expect nothing less. Although I never saw the 63 but heard it was off the chart, this looks looks like a great car too... Al

When I saw your WTB ad I thought, wow that's going to take a while. Funny how things work out like they were meant to be. Congrat's, she's a beauty.
