    I think the old phrase, "Better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission...." - might apply here.

    The phrase was first uttered in 1986, and it came from Grace Hopper, a U.S. Navy admiral.

    The phrase is actually "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission."

    Looks too good to be a parts wagon, but with the windows out of it, I guess the floors are toast. I'm guessing these pictures mean Gary got the car delivered to you.

    Your right Jim, this car could be saved by a very ambitious individual with deep pockets. The interior is roached, I have all the vista glass, it was basically just sitting in the openings with a little dried up beull around them. Yes, Gary got here just fine. Had a little hic-up picking it up, he quoted me $200 gave him $300 for the issue plus I intend to use him again! I truely appreciate you giving me his number! And yes the floors the roached also!....Longroofs Rule!

    As I mentioned above it COULD be brought back with deep pockets, mine are not that deep and I dont't have the resources. Bought as a parts car, but you never know!.....Longroofs Rule!

    Looks pretty solid. Lots of good parts on it. Glad to see it finally made it.

    I’m surprised how straight everything looks on it. It’s the best of both worlds. Lots of great looking usable skin.
