Congrat's, Dave! What a great car!! When I was the manager of a large used
car dealership in the early 70's (I think it was in '73), we bought TWO of
these convertibles at the auction for about $1,000 each! One was yellow with
white top and leather and the other was dark green with green leather and a
black top. Even back then I liked them a lot, but I had about eight cars at
the time, and no $$$. Lot's of good luck with it, and if you decide you
don't like it that much (LOL), let me know.
