Very wide awake...and winning
I'm the 'fast guy' from Toronto that was lucky enough to pick up the
'67.5 2000 in GA.
I was actually the second caller on the car, the first was someone from
MA, who asked a few questions then said he would call back later. I
spent about an hour with Wade (the retired 70 year old previous owner)
on the telephone Wednesday afternoon. He was very helpful, talking on a
cordless phone in his garage, poking around the car and answering my
questions about serial numbers, engine numbers, Solex's, finned oil pan,
headrests, ect. The car has all of these. I told him to consider the
car sold and I left Thursday afternoon after work, drove 14 hours from
Guelph (just outside Toronto)to a suburb of GA, gathered the car, then
drove 14 hours back home.
I feel very lucky to have been able to purchase this car. Wade couldn't
have been a nicer, decent person, kind of like buying a car from your
dad or grandfather. He could have sold the car over and over again for
more than what he was asking during the time it took me to get to GA.
The car is a VERY solid, a few dings here and there from it's past life
in Florida, a few things are seized from it's recent 20 years in a
garage in GA. The chrome is rusty, the interior is ratty, but most
importantly the body and frame are virtually rust free. The car's gone
to a good home, and I'm planning a complete ground up restoration in the
near future to return it better than it's former glory.

Hey All,
Some of you may have seen the post I did about the 67.5 2000 for sale in
Georgia. Turns out it was SRL311-00016 and it was numbers matching.
Apparently it went fast to a guy from Toronto. Many people called and
even
offered the guy substantially more than the selling price (1800.00) but
the
seller kept his word.
This weekend I am going to see a guy who has told me he has a 67.5 2000
for
sale. I will take pics of the car when I can. The owner has set an
asking
price. I am going to look at the car and post my findings. With the
owner's
permission I will post contact info to the list first.
Call me biased, but I'd like to see one go to a list member. ;-)
Take Care,
Andrew Murphy
