Jeff when he told me about somebody that owned a farm from Salinas that made a point of pronouncing his last name clearly I thought it might be you. Are you still looking for a 32 ford? A buddy of mine told me last night about a 32 ford 3-window for $45k in the mid-west states that is being advertised in some old car magazine. It has a 305, original body, glass fenders and solid steel wheels. Private mail me if you want more information.

Mark,

I am still looking for a steel 32...when Boyd's builds still carried some clout 10 years ago I had my wishlist set on a 3w...now that times have changed, something about an "Old School" looking 5w really does something for me. I keep getting sidetracked on finding a Hot Rod when all of these awesome muscle cars keep popping up. I did found an really nice 32 Vicky but I think it's out of my $ range. it's funny you mentioned me pronouncing my last name...I heard his voice message and the last part was in Japanese and I thought it may help...LOL. Once again, congrats on a really cool L-78, it looks FANTASTIC! are you heading down to the B-J next month?

Hi Jeff, To be honest I found the ad on the internet. If you still want a 396/375 there is the black automatic with a build sheet down in San Diego. It looks like a nice car and the guy has had it for sale for awhile at $45k. He would not budge on the price when I talked to him about 6 weeks ago but maybe things have changed now. The silver car is nice but it is not perfect with a few things wrong. I learned my lesson on not looking at cars before I buy them so when I was interested in a car from out of my area I had to factor in the flight and transportation. So the silver car started making sense in the long run. I have never had the chance to go to the auctions yet. I have to wait till my kids are a little older before I can go. I will be watching it on TV.

thanks for the lead on the blk/blk car, still hoping I'll find the right 32 5W.
