I vaguely recall that thread. I searched all of your posts back past April and I couldn't find it.

Did you delete that thread?

I'd like to see pics as well.

Jim,

You and Craig need to teach me to shut up about cars and just buy them.

I have lost 3 cars this year and it is only May...LOL

The car was in San Jose, but was moved to Dublin which is where Jim picked it up.

Notice he has been quiet lately ??

Jims in Newport Beach, no computer access. He will probably head over to the library and use theres to check on the daily chatter.

Craig has it right, I'm in the Newport Beach Public Library, so not as attentive to 914 stuff as usual.
In the middle of a 10 day house swap with my brother and he doesn't have a computer at home. The day we arrived it was 86 degrees in Portland, 62 here, go figure.
Kevin, it will be a long time before I drive the six, needs a lot of work. The carbed 4 will be going in a week or two.
Brad, you're getting paranoid. I only remembered your post about the value of the green six (and my response) today when I went to your link on this thread (I said "no more than $5000", then paid more a month later, LOL!!!). I bought the car after seeing an ad for it on the Rennlist classifieds. I had no idea it was one of your "stake outs" until the seller told me you wanted the car when I picked it up.
All I can say is you were too slow making up your mind. If I can exchange several phone calls, receive email pics, negotiate a purchase, and drive 700 miles with a tow dolly to get the car, I think you were asleep at the switch. Don't blame me.

The car was a good buy, but given all the work needed, it was certainly not a steal. But then again, original, reasonably complete sixes are not found too often. I have seen many for sale at $12-16K which look nice but need most of what this car needs. I liked the idea of restoring the car for the first time.

Jim,

I never blamed you.. I blame the person who didnt give me the 4-5 messages Ion left at SSI (but I never recieved). I totally agree.. SNOOZE you lose. I'm picking up a similar car next week in LA..same condition same parts.. 500$ less (will run me 300$ or to go down and come back)
