He also has an incredible nose for finding pristine low mileage cars in hidden places - like Phoenix for example. It's a pleasure to hear from him again - one of the good guys, for sure!

Hello, I haven't written to the list in a long time, but I have a few spare moments... Writing to you from the business center at the Rio Suites Hotel in Las Vegas after completing a trip from Detroit, MI to Las Vegas, NV. The big (mist) green monster is resting in the parking garage, scaring all the tiny Korean rental cars. You don't want to know how many gallons of gas I burned, and neither do I, lol. I drove the car out here because I have a home to sell in Phoenix, and an ex-girlfriend was attending a convention in LV. She agreed to split the gas/driving if she could use the car in LV and during some work in Phoenix... So you see, some people are still using these cars as "cars". Come Saturday afternoon, we'll be heading to Phoenix. I'm going to spend a month +/- out here trying to sell my house. Obviously, that won't take 24 hours a day, so I decided to drive out in the '73 and use the time to fix a number of minor issues. Hopefully, by the time I drive her back to MI, she'll have every small item fixed, no more small dents/etc. and fresh F1 mist-green paint. The trunk holds all my bodywork tools, a welder, hand/power tools and a 1970 Zenith Color TV (another hobby, lol). She is packed to the top! Just thought you IML folk might be interested.
