    Thanks, the man is going to call me to let me know what he wants for it tonite.

    His daughter let me in the fence to do a "quick" look over it.

    It has a Navy blue vinyl top ,which is peeling off. There are rust "lumps"under it too.:( The car has what appears to be a perfect black grill with the center medallion missing (of coarse.)Black trimmed headlight doors, Bumperettes ,sport mirrors,bench seat, auto on the column,A/C .The tray under the dash is broken in half.

    The Body is pretty straight but I saw rust in the bottom of the drivers door, and some really bad bondo repairs on the drivers side rear quarter with rust all around them also.

    The car still has all 4 dog dish hubcaps with the blue ring on them , but one of the trim rings is missing.

    White interior with blue and red trimmings. white door panels with blue armrests....the rear bumper is rusted badly.

    Oh yea she says "it runs".

    Dennis, right now I`m just checking on it to see what the guy wants for it,and "inquire" about it more to pass on the info to whoever might be interested.


    Jamie...about 4 years ago ,my brother in law sold a V-8 sprint in great running condition with a straight body (some rust) up in Alto Ga. for $950.00

    Wonder if that's the one I keep seeing around here... Body is pretty decent on it, but you can tell it's the original paint and unrestored. Just has stock steel wheels with white wall tires, no hubcaps or anything. I can tell by the way it sounds that it's a V8 car. Some guy in his mid-late 20's is driving it. Next time I see it I am going to chase it down and talk to the guy.

    The one that was at Pull-A-Part was a 200 car. I would have killed to get my hands on that, but they wouldn't sell the whole car, just parts. :(
